After the Aurora movie theater massacre, at an action movie like the one the o.p. went to see, it is reasonable to be suspicious of a person acting weirdly and nervously while digging in a large purse or tote bag....and chain smoking while nervous and where smoking is prohibited.
The bag could have contained weapons and ammo as the Aurora killer brought into the action movie setting.
Now I'll wait for all the ridiculing "far fetched" claims. But nobody I know ever would have expected massacres like the Aurora theater, nor in classrooms of first graders in an all-american town like Newtown, CT.
Take a look at what the Aurora shooter had at this link. As an earlier poster said, "See something....SAY something".

The guy just was watching the movie and smoking either a cigarette or an e-cigarette. I only saw the huge purse after he got up and also while he was waiting for a toilet stall. The big purse is unusual but I kind of figured he was just someone who worked around Sumter Landing in a night shift of some kind.
My fear about reporting him was mainly that I do not have a big problem with smokers, but many do. And, the Old Mill Playhouse management probably know this man if he is a regular at the theater AND carries a large purse. He was about 160 lbs, maybe 5' 7 or 5' 8", no beard or mustache, very nice short haircut, slim build. Asian-American in appearance. Well dressed, too. Everything matched quite well.
And, it did not ruin my movie going experience. Now going to the management and worrying about what might be the consequences of reporting this person is another story. That probably would have put everyone in the theater at edge. I have never particularly liked causing trouble or making a scene. That's probably why I wanted to go into something involving librarianship and not related to the rough-and-tumble world of being an attorney. Even though there are many areas of law practice which are very dry and which most people would find incredibly boring.
