What is the meaning of the pointed line? "that - two...for the front house.Snapshot mother's day page 41.
Q. That two front dress circles for the first house ......
Dear student
The following refers to theatre terminology. Usually a theatre is divided into four parts - stalls(ground floor), dress circle(first floor), upper circle(second floor or mezzanine) and balcony (third floor). Tickets for a seat in the "dress circle" are the most expensive. This is because they are the best seats, and the best place to watch the show from, when sitting in a theatre. Hence, the dress circle is most sought after by people who want to watch a live theatre drama.
Any theatre will only have one show in the evening. If it has two shows, then the first show is called first house and the second show is called matinee.
So, to explain the sentence you have provided in layman's terms, Cyril is trying to say that he does not want to miss the show that his mother will put on and is going to take the best available seats, to get the best view at the best timing to watch his mother and father argue.
