And if they didn't like...

what they saw on the stage they would throw the shells throw the shells at the actors now that is that is one area where they were provided with that by the theater obviously not the throw at the stage but when i see old movies of of people throwing eggs at the stage or throwing rotten fruit at the stage

You kind of had to know that the show was going to be bad because who walks around with rotten fruit in their pockets?

Right, right.

Right.

And they didn't have plastic bags in those days.

So I imagine that their clothes were pretty much of a mess.

You had to really dislike somebody, but dislike them so much that you would pay to show your hatred of them.

Once again, a weird audience behavior.

I'll give you an example.

How much audiences, even here in the United States, have changed over the last hundred years.

A hundred years ago, there was a form of entertainment called vaudeville, which was live variety entertainment.

Actors would come in.

There was a comedian.

There was a dancer.

People would juggle.

People would do special tricks.

They would do rope tricks.

They had animal acts, et cetera.

People would come in and watch that.
