This young chap is embarrassed because his girl hangs on his arm while he buys movie tickets. He envies the man behind him whose “date” properly ignores the transaction.

Your Social Blunders Embarrass Others

Watch your movie manners theater manners. Let your escort spend his money without your help. This young chap is embarrassed because his girl hangs on his arm while he buys movie tickets. He envies the man behind him whose “date” properly ignores the transaction.

You’d expect the first couple to stumble rudely over other people’s feet, crunch candy, nudge each other and giggle. And it’s so easy to say “I’m sorry” if you have to pass in front of others. And be considerately quiet once you are seated.

Check your score on social carelessness. Do you ever stop at a restaurant table to prattle gaily for 10 minutes while the men in the party stand at attention.

Do you make up your face in the street car instead of getting it in order before you leave home or dressing-room? People judge you by your every-day conduct. 

Learn good manners for street, shop, restaurant, automobiles, introductions and invitations. – Santa Ana Journal Home Service. 1937
