Incessantly Googling on her smart phone? How much noise does that make?
Mr. Williamson reminds me of the woman I heard of long ago, who stood up in a lounge somewhere in Washington as the pianist was starting "Memories" and yelled "Shut up, people, this is art!"
I think part of the theatre experience is not just silence but no distractions in the darkened space that audience inhabit. Smartphone screens with their little bleeping rectangle frames can be rather irritating.
