WE HAVE NO ONE BY THAT NAME

Theatre Arts magazine: A subscriber to the Theatre Arts magazine called "Information" for the magazine's number.

"Sorry," said the operator, "but there is nobody listed by the name of Theodore Arts."

The subscriber insisted: "It's not a person; it's a publication. I want Theatre Arts."

The operator repeated, "I told you, we have no listing for Theodore Arts."

By now the subscriber was hollering, "The word is Theatre: T-H-E-A-T-R-E."

The operator responded: "That is not the way to spell Theodore."
