ering these concessions should specify the quality of the products which are to be sold; the price at which they are to be sold; the container (guarding against paper bags that rustle loudly) ; just what articles are to be dispensed (chewing gum being very undesirable), etc. The theatre should reserve the right to require concessionaire to employ as dispensers only per- sons satisfactory to the theatre, and to require such dispensers to be neatly uniformed. A badly behaved candy boy, a noisy "peddler" or one who runs up and down aisles, or seats him- self amongst patrons during the performance, is not desirable—the management should have the right to require the concessionaire to replace him. A peanut or popcorn stand, or similar enter- prise, does not belong in the lobby of a well- conducted theatre, and if candy is to be sold at all, it should be dispensed from a case in lobby or foyer, instead of by venders passing up and down aisles. Laundry, cleaning and pressing, baggage hauling and business privileges of this type are best left to be handled in accordance with the requirements of local conditions, which vary so greatly that it is impracticable to lay down any general rule. 274
