Democratic Sentinel, Volume 6, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 December 1882 — The Theater Man and the Newspaper Man. [ARTICLE]

The Theater Man and the Newspaper Man.

The theater man is much like the newspaper man. The theatre man may call his brother names which are anything but pretty, so will the newspaper man, but when that brother is in trouble, the theater man, like the newspaper man, rushes to his assistance. I believe, though, there is a truer esprit de corps among journalists than among theater people, and yet it may not be so. The journalist can take it out in print. The theater man has no type with which tc speak, so must use nature’s weapon, the tongue. Ho is tremendously bitter, as we are on occasions, but let a theater burn and the unlucky one has more of fers of practical aid than lie knows what to do with. In our world no inhabitant hesitates to use the facilities of a fellowcitizen, though the man upon whom he makes a call may have posted him as a thief and a liar in the morning’s issue of his paper. — Progress.
