Marrier and Carlo Trent appeared through the iron door that gave communication to initiates between the wings and the auditorium; they sat down in the stalls. And the curtain rose with a violent swish, and disclosed the first "set" of "The Orient Pearl." "What about that amber, Cosmo?" Mr. Marrier cried thickly, after a pause, his mouth occupied with sandwich. "There you are!" came the reply.
The door leading into the auditorium confronted her, and shaking with silent laughter she pushed it open and slipped noiselessly within. A soft hushed movement like one breathing in sleep filled the great space. She paused, startled the church was crowded. Away up in the dim pulpit at the other end a man was speaking. Elizabeth dropped breathlessly and embarrassed into the pew nearest the door.
"I should like a word with ye, if ye can spare a minute, young miss," whispered a voice as heavy as the hand. It was old Thomas Batchgrew's face and whiskers that she was looking up at in the gloom. As if fascinated, she followed in terror those flaunting whiskers up the slope of the narrow isle to the back of the auditorium.
The chattering suddenly took on a rapid crescendo, ascending a full third in the scale and then dying abruptly in a little high falsetto shriek; and Bobby, with a lady upon either arm, found his little trio immediately alone in the center of the stage, a row of dim footlights cutting off effectually any view into the vast emptiness of the auditorium.
All at once the folks realized that a man was squalling discordantly his shrieks almost as shrill as a frightened porker's squeals. Heads were snapped around. Eyes saw Dorsey, the municipal watchman, almost the only man of the village of Egypt who was not of the evening's audience in Town Hall. He was standing on a settee at the extreme rear of the auditorium.
Ah! well, after conversions the Evil One is at work; and it is nothing, believe me; he was harder on me than that." He slipped his arm under Durtal's, and leading him to the auditorium, begged him to wait, and disappeared. Some minutes afterwards, the prior entered. "Well," said he, "M. Bruno tells me that you are suffering. What is it, exactly?"
All of these factors also influence the public and do much to determine popular sympathy and judgment. In the early days of the Pullman strike, as I was coming down in the elevator of the Auditorium hotel from one of the futile meetings of the Arbitration Committee, I met an acquaintance, who angrily said "that the strikers ought all to be shot."
Fifty to one are by no means despicable odds, but the aid of the gods as well is better! So the huge dome of Kharvani's temple began to echo to the sound of slippered feet and awe-struck whisperings, and the big, dim auditorium soon filled to overflowing. No light came in from the outer world.
The future lowers dark with the multitudinous mouths of avenues of prosperity!" This letter was a disappointment to Mr. Giddings. His special edition of the Herald commemorative of the opening of our Auditorium must now be deprived of its James R. Elkins feature, so far as his being the guest of honor goes.
Have you ever heard Trueman?" "I never heard him speak, but I have read his speeches. He seems to be a true friend of the people." "Let us call for a speech from Pennsylvania," suggests the observant auditor. "Pennsylvania! Pennsylvania!" shouts the impulsive man beside him. "Pennsylvania!" comes the instant response in every quarter of the auditorium.
