A performer who is accustomed to the centre of the stage often finds it difficult to keep himself in the background at moments when the scene should be dominated by other, and sometimes lesser, actors. Artistic self-denial is one of the rarest of virtues. This is the reason why "all-star" performances are almost always bad.
For the three of them are what is known in newspaper parlance as national figures. One n.f. is enough for any short story. Three would swamp a book. It's like one of those plays advertised as having an all-star cast. By the time each luminary has come on, and been greeted, and done his twinkling the play has faded into the background. You can't see the heavens for the stars.
Exposition contests include nearly every branch of sport National Championships of the A. A. U. Two great automobile races, the International Grand Prix and the Vanderbilt Cup, already run Polo and Golf Sensational flights of the aviators The International Yachting Regatta and other aquatic events All-star baseball expected in the fall.
He wore none of the prison pallor that you read about in books, because he had been shortstop on the penitentiary all-star baseball team, and famed for the dexterity with which he could grab up red-hot grounders.

When Mark Riley started out again in the afternoon for a second excursion with paste and brush, "slapping up" small posters with a celerity that bespoke extreme interest on his part, the astonished populace feared that he was announcing a postponement of the performance.
Suchandsuch's elaborate production of the great London success, 'The Rancid Prune, with the following all-star cast of metropolitan favorites. And some of them, ach, Himmel! "I do wish that the merry Springtime would hurry up and kick in. Them can have the Winter that likes it, but not for little Angel-face; give me the summer and that 'Robins Nest Again' number.
This company, bear in mind, is made up of an all-star cast." "All right then, say no more," said Smith. "Say," continued Handy, addressing the ambitious young man of the troupe, "don't you think you could manage to take off Billy Crane? And give them some exhibitions of his genius in scenes from his many-sided repertory, and we'll star you on the bills."
He was a person of kind heart, evidently, to whom the father had spoken much of his boys in Edom a bulky, cushiony, youngish man who was billed on the advertising posters of the Gus Levy All-Star Shamrock Vaudeville as "Samson the Second," with a portrait of himself supporting on the mighty arch of his chest a grand piano, upon which were superimposed three sizable and busy violinists.
Ever since the business of engaging a company had begun, he had been thinking wistfully of the evening when "The Rose of America" had had its opening performance at his aunt's house at Newport last Summer with an all-star cast of society favorites and an ensemble recruited entirely from debutantes and matrons of the Younger Set.
