At the last moment, when face to face with the public, young Douglass lost courage. The stake for which he played was so great! Like a man who has put his last dollar upon the hazard, he was ready to snatch his gold from the boards. The whole thing seemed weakly tenuous at dress-rehearsal, and Royleston, half-drunk as usual, persistently bungled his lines.
"Bring me yang-ban's garments as befits me," I interrupted, "and you shall see." As I was led away in compliance, I turned on the ki-sang. "And leave my slaves alone. They have journeyed far and are weary. They are my faithful slaves." In another room Kim helped me change, sending the lackeys away; and quick and to the point was the dress-rehearsal he gave me.
Braulard promised to come to the dress-rehearsal, to determine on the points where his "Romans" should work their fleshy clappers to bring down the house in applause. Martainville came several times to hear Coralie rehearse, and he knew more of the stage than most men of his time; several Royalist writers had promised favorable articles; Lucien had not a suspicion of the impending disaster.
"When did you see her last, Jack?" "I went down for a dress-rehearsal the day before yesterday." Jack had still the air of the nervous dog, walking cautiously, the hair of its back standing upright. "Oh, the Cripple-Hellenic affair. How Imogen loves running a show." "And how well she does it," said Rose. "What a perfect queen she would have made.
"Ask Dad," it seemed, was to open out of town in Schenectady on the following Monday, and this was to be a sort of preliminary dress-rehearsal.
Elise would never under any circumstance have gone forth with a vagabond on a wild night. But here was Ursula doing it every day. On the evening of the first dress-rehearsal she wore clothes that showed her sense of fitness.
So I redeemed a promise given in jest at the Lyceum to Frank Benson twenty years earlier, and went off to Stratford-upon-Avon to play in Henry VIII. Mr. Benson was wonderful to work with. "My folk," as Mr. "Harcourt Williams," I wrote in my diary on the day of the dress-rehearsal, "will be heard of very shortly.
All the summer I enjoyed myself thoroughly. It was all such good fun Mrs. Kendal was so clever and delightful to play with, Mr. Tree so indefatigable in discovering new funny "business." After the dress-rehearsal I wrote in my diary: "Edy has real genius for dresses for the stage." My dress for Mrs. Caius, Courtice Pounds as Sir Hugh Evans, and Mrs. There were no "passengers" in the cast.
A preliminary dress-rehearsal, old George explained, was the same as a regular dress-rehearsal inasmuch as it was apt to look like nothing on earth and last into the small hours, but more exciting because they wouldn't be timing the piece and consequently all the blighters who on these occasions let their angry passions rise would have plenty of scope for interruptions, with the result that a pleasant time would be had by all.
I walked on in "The Merchant of Venice" carrying a basket of doves; in "Richard II." I climbed up a pole in the street scene; in "Henry VIII." I was "top angel" in the vision, and I remember that the heat of the gas at that dizzy height made me sick at the dress-rehearsal! I was a little boy "cheering" in several other productions. In "King Lear" my sister Kate played Cordelia.
