Impresarios might thus consume all the public statuary about the town to the artistic education of the community, besides producing most realistic results in the theatre. Through the courtesy of some of the laborers I was permitted to enter a small kiln in which they were then at work.
They agreed that the girl must be a remarkable dancer indeed to warrant such praise from such authorities, but they wanted to see her and judge for themselves, and they asked to be given her address, which the impresarios refused to disclose.
"No, you wouldn't!" she cried half weeping with rage as she contemplated the wreck of her hopes, "don't you know that Mary Garden and Schumann-Heink and Geraldine Farrar and all of them, that are now our greatest stars, had to starve and skimp and wait on the impresarios before they could get their chance?
And if you had seen as much of them as I have, the 'sometimes' would be rare!" "Yet you play before them?" put in Max Graub. "Because I must do so to satisfy the impresarios who advertise me to the public," said Valdor. "Alas! why will the public be so foolish as to wish their favourite artist to play before kings and queens?
The lack of a fire burning on a national altar seemed to have drawn them by universal impulse to the congenial flare of the footlights, whether as artists, producers, impresarios, critics, agents, go-betweens, or merely as highly intelligent and fearsomely well-informed spectators.
There are some natures so constituted that, due to be hung at ten o'clock, they will play chess at eight. Such men invariably rise. They make especially good bishops, editors, judges, impresarios, Prime ministers, money-lenders, and generals; in fact, fill with exceptional credit any position of power over their fellow-men.
"It's not easy to talk sense to you," she said. "Whatever else you take in hand," said Youghal, "you must never improve this garden. It's what our idea of Heaven might be like if the Jews hadn't invented one for us on totally different lines. It's dreadful that we should accept them as the impresarios of our religious dreamland instead of the Greeks."
And winding on into the green, sun-steeped distance, the blossom-hung English lanes. I find it an unexpectedly strange experience to be in London again after ten years in New York. I had no idea it could be so strange. Of course, there are men to whom one great city is as another commercial travellers, impresarios, globe-trotting millionaires. Being none of these, I am not as much at home in St.
New York impresarios did not make appointments in East Orange. He asked for an explanation. Pity that she did not open this letter before the other or the other was of a nature to drive the existence of the agent's letter of any letter out of her head; for days afterward that all-important message lay on the table unopened.
Meantime, the pariahs, those who never arrive, the "bohemians" of Milan when they are left alone console themselves with tales of famous comrades, of contracts they themselves refused to accept, pretending uncompromising hauteur toward impresarios and composers to justify their idleness; and wrapped in fur coats that almost sweep the ground, with their "garibaldis" on the backs of their heads, they hover around Biffi's, defying the cold draughts that blow at the crossing of the Gallery, talking and talking away to quiet the hunger that is gnawing at their stomachs; despising the humble toil of those who make their living by their hands, continuing undaunted in their poverty, content with their genius as artists, facing misfortune with a candor and an endurance as heroic as it is pathetic, their dark lives illumined by Hope, who keeps them company till she closes their eyes.
