Throughout the twenties there have been many who tried to curtail the offence of throwing orange peels and garbage onto the audience of a stage production. Of course those under attack are the wealthy patrons of the theater who’s fancy hats and smug faces make for easy targets.

Just over two years after a letter was written to the Morning Post to comment on the disastrous orange peel affliction and suggest a possible solution, another was written making similar comments and suggesting the same solution. One has to wonder if this was the same person on a long quest. Alas despite their continued campaign of letters to the editor every two or three years there are further accounts of the orange peel dangers at theaters. We recommend always bringing a thick hat or helmet as a wealthy patron and a good pound of peels as a lower class gallery member.
