"I certainly couldn't ask you to take part in an affair that you didn't approve." "I don't know that I disapprove of it. Properly managed, it might be a good thing." "Yes, of course. But I understand why you might not sympathise with that part of it, and that is why I told you of it," said Annie. "What part?" "The the theatricals." "Why not?" asked the minister. "I know Mrs.
"Because I'm neither summer folks nor old village families?" asked Annie. "Because you're both," retorted Mr. Brandreth. "I don't see that," said Annie; "but we'll suppose the case, for the sake of argument. What do you expect me to do in theatricals, in-doors or out?
Unless the performers have had some experience in theatricals it is best to choose a comedy for even a Greek tragedy in all its poignant simplicity may become a farce in the hands of unskillful actors. Rehearsals are of vital importance. The members of the cast must rehearse and rehearse and rehearse again until they know their parts perfectly.
Notably there is one person in the story who seems as if he were meant to be something, but who hitherto has certainly been nothing; I mean Bazzard, Mr. Grewgious's clerk, a sulky fellow interested in theatricals, of whom an unnecessary fuss is made. There is also Mr. Grewgious himself, and there is also another suggestion, so much more startling that I shall have to deal with it later.
Stories of this character lose nothing by repetition. Handy and his fellow-craftsmen had not been home a week when their adventures became the talk of the town, especially among the theatrical fraternity. As usual in somewhat similar cases, every impecunious player became desirous of immediately starting out upon the uncertain sea of theatricals.
The undertaking proved a great social success, and henceforth we hear of galas, soirees, theatricals and other entertainments increasing in splendour with the young artist's vogue and means. The history of the next twenty years reads like a page from the Arabian Nights.
Lady Caher, Mr. J. Madox, and G. Lamb were the most conspicuous the first so beautiful that I felt love-making very easy. A splendid supper closed the business. Lawrence seems to have fancied that the propriety of his joining in the theatricals might be questioned.
With this slight damming of her flowing fount of filial love, Lulu combined a desire to have them appear as features at a musicale she was to give, come Saturday evening. Mother was to be in a "dear ducky lace cap" and Father in a frilled shirt and a long-tailed coat which Harris Hartwig had once worn in theatricals, the two of them presiding at the refreshments table.
But I come to you for advice as well as co-operation, Miss Kilburn. You must have met a great many English people in Rome, and heard some of them talk about it. We're thinking, some of the young people here, about getting up some outdoor theatricals, like Lady Archibald Campbell's, don't you know. You know about them?" he added, at the blankness in her face.
"The theatricals which you've seen to-day," she consequently observed smiling, "will again lead to performances for several days, and Miss Pao-ch'ai will, I'm sure, give a return feast." "Whether she gives a return feast or not," Pao-yue rejoined with an apathetic smirk, "is no concern of mine!"
