It was such fun his telling me all the story of the Star of Seville, little imagining I had just perpetrated a five-act tragedy on that identical subject. Tuesday, May 24th. It's a pretty picture of a "fine piece of a woman," as the Italians say, but it has none of the very decided character of her face.... Wednesday, May 25th.
Not at once, however; for an extraordinary languor seemed to have fallen upon Ibsen. His isolation from society became extreme; for nearly a year he gave no sign of life. In September, 1875, indeed, if not earlier, he was at work on a five-act play, but what this was is unknown.
Go you to the theatre in what is called a wet season, and perhaps after sitting through a dull five-act tragedy and two farces, your first solicitude is about the weather, and as if to increase the vexation, you cannot see the sky for a heavy portico or blind; then the ominous cry of "carriage, your honour" "what terrible event does this portend" and you have to pick your way, with your wife like Cinderella after the ball, through an avenue of link-boys and cadmen, and hear your name and address bawled out to all the thieves that happen to be present.
Edna Rosalind Park, a native of Boston, now residing in New York, has shown decided talent in the songs she has published, and has several important works in manuscript. Margaret Williams, a Baltimore student who was born in Tennessee, produced a concert overture at one of the Peabody Symphony Concerts, and has also composed the words and music for a five-act opera, entitled "Columbus."
Carmela made a sound as of breaking bones and hummed a few bars of Chopin's Marche Funèbre. Olive shuddered. "You are an impressionist, Carmela. Two dabs of scarlet and a smear half a word and a shrug of the shoulders and you have expressed a five-act tragedy. I think you could act." "Oh, I am not clever; I should never be able to remember my part."
Goodman's Fields, where Garrick made his debut, was not opened until the following year, and Covent Garden belongs to a still later date. Fielding's first dramatic essay or, to speak more precisely, the first of his dramatic essays that was produced upon the stage was a five-act comedy entitled Love in Several Masques. It was played at Drury Lane in February 1728, succeeding the Provok'd Husband.
Before finally joining with M. Halévy, M. Meilhac wrote two comedies in five acts of high aim and skilful execution, and two other five-act pieces have been written by MM. Meilhac and Halévy together. The Vertu de Célimène and the Petit fils de Mascarille are by the elder partner Fanny Lear and Froufrou are the work of the firm.
"Pauline, I haven't been entirely not worth while. Oh, yes, I know! I know I haven't written five-act tragedies which would be immortal, as you probably expected me to do. My books are not quite the books I was to write when you and I were young.
We report his victories in our three-volume novels, his occasional defeats in our five-act melodramas." "All of which is very true," remarked Jephson; "but you must remember it is not only the literary man who traffics in misfortune. The doctor, the lawyer, the preacher, the newspaper proprietor, the weather prophet, will hardly, I should say, welcome the millennium.
"Yes, that is all right; but as it is, she competes with Haxard." After Godolphin had gone, Louise came down, and found Maxwell in a dreary muse over his manuscript. He looked up at her with a lack-lustre eye, and said, "Godolphin is jealous of Salome now. What he really wants is a five-act monologue that will keep him on the stage all the time.
