what does the dukes comment reveal about the
culture of these arkansas townspeople?
the townspeople need to be forced to go see
shows.
the townspeople understand that
inappropriate plays are banned from being
performed
the townspeople dont allow women and
children to attend shows
the townspeople think that things that are
inappropriate might also be fun.

Explanation:

The sign "LADIES AND CHILDREN NOT ADMITTED" is used as a marketing ploy. The duke's comment implies that this restriction will attract the townspeople. It suggests that they are drawn to something exclusive or perhaps a bit scandalous (as it's excluding certain groups), indicating they think inappropriate - like excluding ladies and children - might be fun.

Answer:

The townspeople think that things that are inappropriate might also be fun.
