According to one, there is to be a répétition générale of several forthcoming plays, which, in plain English, means an anticipatory performance to a private audience, given in order to assist the critics or some of them in carrying out their duties and fighting the clock, and perhaps also for the purpose of giving seats to some of the swagger "deadheads" who crowd the stalls on a first night.
He knows that the general public is as uncritical of an audience as of a play or of acting, so he fills his house as well as he can with the very deadest of deadheads; "orders" are distributed lavishly to people whose presence in the theatre is actually a favour to the management. It is said that these playgoers are peculiarly severe in their judgments and remarkably apathetic!
"They's been some jobbing done way below our rollways," said Roaring Dick, "and the mossbacks have been taking 'em out long before our drive got this far. Them few deadheads we've picked up along the line; mossbacks left 'em stranded. They ain't very many." "I'll send up a marking hammer, and we'll brand them. Finders keepers." "Sure," said Roaring Dick. He nodded and ran out over the logs.
Paul and Minneapolis. We were generally about 500 miles from our base. We were not able to take many deadheads." Harry Kersburg is one of the most enthusiastic Harvard football players I have ever met. He played guard on Harvard in 1904, '05 and '06 and is often asked back to Cambridge to coach the center men.
Seeing what service they render to the managers the deadheads are perhaps entitled to the protection of the phrase "de mortuis." The foregoing article brought several letters, amongst them one that deserves a little consideration.
Other Home Rulers, by an expert use of figures, show that there is a Home Rule majority in Ulster itself. To those who know Ulster their efforts fail to carry the slightest conviction. I hear of "Ulster bigots," "Ulster deadheads," and assertions made that the opposition only proceeds from a few aristocratic Tory landlords.
In cases where the backs of the stalls are of a good height, a fair-sized mirror might be fixed high up on the back, with some little contrivance in the way of a curtain which could be drawn over it; and aided by these we might be able to grapple with our difficulties." A penny-in-the-slot mirror might pay. A Justification of certain Deadheads
The prologue was evidently over, and the first act was on. It began well, with a touch of human interest certain to please an audience. But unfortunately for every one concerned, this was a private rehearsal for actors only, not a public performance. Biddy and I had no business in the dark auditorium. We were deadheads. We had sneaked in without paying. The situation was one for a nightmare.
Lastly, in the group of first-night deadheads come the members of the unrecognised, ill-organised, generally tactless claque. The species that lately has been attacked is divisible into two groups. The first consists of the people who will not go to the theatre without an order, but do not expect first-night tickets one may call them the "cadgers."
The exercise will do you good, and then remember," he said with a laugh, "we have no deadheads on this trip." Eagerly the boys rushed off to the sleds for their axes, and, putting on their snowshoes for the snow was too deep for comfortable work without them they were soon busily engaged at what was Gladstone's favourite exercise. In the meantime the men were hard at work in preparing the camp.
