That joy comes of the knowledge that in all this whirlpool of horrors our lads continue to smile the smile of victory. Therefore the film must finish with a touch of happiness to send you home from the picture theatre with a light heart or at least as light a heart as circumstances permit. The film is now edited, and it goes into the printer's hands.
The streets were crowded with holiday-makers; for to-day is the first of the Chinese new year, as yesterday was the first of the Japanese new year. The floor of the theatre was crowded with people, all squatting on their heels, each with his or her chow-chow box and hibatchi or brazier of burning charcoal to keep themselves warm.
One change, too, of vast importance was announced by the words "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." This transferred the very scene of conflict, the theatre of spiritual warfare, from an external to an internal world, and the social significance of such individual battle lay in its being typical of all men's lives.
I held in my arms a superb danseuse from an Italian theatre who had come to Paris for the carnival; she wore the costume of a Bacchante with a robe of panther's skin. Never have I seen anything so languishing as that creature.
"He expects to leave early he isn't well," she hastened to say. "Don't you want to smoke?" "A cigarette, if you don't mind. By the way, where is my future daughter-in-law? Surely I may see her to-night." "She is at the theatre with the Fernmores. Graydon is one of the party. Didn't you know?" she asked suddenly. "I do remember it now. He left the apartment quite early.
I am sad, I am in a foreign country, I long to return home, just for a single day, for if I stayed longer, I should want to go back. In the evening we went to the Apollo theatre, they gave the Vestal and a ballet. I wore white with a Greek coiffure. There were a great many people, and an especially large number of men. Not a single woman between our box and the stage.
Oh, yes, I see in your roguish smile that I may, and I thank you," said Toulan, pressing the round ball to his lips, and then putting it into his breast-pocket. "He plays as well as the fellows do in the theatre," said Simon, laughing. "Go into our sleeping-room," said Marie Antoinette, turning to the princesses.
Crawford who had procured William's promotion! Here was a change, and here were claims which could not but operate! She might have disdained him in all the dignity of angry virtue, in the grounds of Sotherton, or the theatre at Mansfield Park; but he approached her now with rights that demanded different treatment. She must be courteous, and she must be compassionate.
I have for many Years last past been Thunderer to the Play-house; and have not only made as much Noise out of the Clouds as any Predecessor of mine in the Theatre that ever bore that Character, but also have descended and spoke on the Stage as the bold Thunder in The Rehearsal When they got me down thus low, they thought fit to degrade me further, and make me a Ghost.
Where the individual alone is real, the type is a myth of the imagination a pure invention. And invention is the mainspring of the theatre, which rests purely upon illusion, and does not please us unless it begins by deceiving us. I believe, then, that if one seeks to know the world exactly as it is, the theatre does not furnish the means whereby one can pursue the study.
