Somnambulists Tour New York in Sleep Walking Lads
Five hundred New York somnambulists form an organization and tour the country in their sleep. They travel by night with map and flashlight, while daytime duties keep them active. Accidents rise and many wear bed uniforms, with bumper pajamas and other odd gear. A joke on the growing craze notes an Automobile Club sleep walking department and nightly “official service stations” for nocturnal travelers.

Public tastes drive vulgar theater decline
The writer argues that profanity and nudity reflect vulgarity but many shows persist with more symptoms. He claims the public rewards stupidity with audiences and money, and that theaters would go bankrupt if they aimed to educate or elevate minds, as people expect free cultural enhancement.
Public tastes and reformers urge wiser theater
The public favors maudlin plays while an intelligent drama appeals to a small portion. Most attend theatres to be amused and escape dull minds. Reformers seek to educate the public rather than attack the stage.
Education Elevates Theatres By Audience Taste
Education is slow work and does not bring workers into the limelight. Educating the public to a higher intelligence and taste causes theatres to rise to a higher standard of taste on their own, reflecting the audiences they serve.
