The real romance is that a perfectly ordinary young man, the sort of young man who cleans your car at the garage, a prosaically real young man wearing overalls faded to a thin blue, splitting his infinitives, and frequently having for idol a bouncing ingénue, should, in a rickety structure of wood and percale, be able to soar miles in the air and fulfil the dream of all the creeping ages.
The typical characters describable by the empirical method are therefore few: the miser, the lover, the old nurse, the ingénue, and the other types of traditional comedy. Any greater specification would appeal only to a small audience for a short time, because the characteristics depicted would no longer exist to be recognized. But whatever experience a poet's hearers may have had, they are men.
The difference between the last stage and the first is that the artist has learned to see. To write is nothing to know what to write is much. To paint is nothing to see and know the object you are attempting to portray is everything. "Shall I paint the thing just as I see it?" asked the ingenue of the great artist. "Why, yes," was the answer, "provided you do not see the thing as you paint it."
The decorative Juliet of the stage we know, the lovely picture, the ingenue, the prattler of pretty phrases; but this mysterious, tragic child, whom love has made wise in making her a woman, is unknown to us outside Shakespeare, and perhaps even there. Mr. Sothern's Romeo has an exquisite passion, young and extravagant as a lover's, and is alive.
Her sister, Myrtle Montague, was an ingenue in the little stock company at the Central Theatre, and Mrs. Povey kept house for her and Mr. Povey, who spent all his waking hours at the racetrack. George was furious to have this woman, whom he particularly detested, come in upon him thus informally, and find him at so great a disadvantage.
You've got to remember, though, that they deliver flowers by the car-load out here. And the local stock company has made me an offer. Ingenue parts. There is not the money that I might get in the pictures, but the chance is better. So Marie Courtenay moves on to the legit. I mean the spoken drama. Look out for me on Broadway later!"
He thinks a white muslin frock with a blue sash the finest thing a girl can wear." "It is not bad, for an ingénue," said Louise, thoughtfully. "But I do not agree with you, Mademoiselle, that he would not admire these lovely things. He might not know, but he would admire all the same." "Possibly," I said, with patience. I was not greatly interested in Theobald's point of view.
For five months I've spent my evenings in my hotel room, or watching the Maude Byrnes Stock Company playing "Lena Rivers," with the ingenue coming out between the acts in a calico apron and a pink sunbonnet and doing a thing they bill as vaudeville.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I've been wondering whether she were at the same time a smart and clever woman and an abject fool, or whether she were simply smart and clever and thought me an abject fool. It must be either one or the other. She played the literary ingénue very well a little too openly, perhaps. I'm curious about her book " "Oh, don't judge of her by her book!" Lionel exclaimed.
The young lady is a niece of Fallowfeild's a pretty little girl, really quite pretty I saw her that night we were both at the play all new, and pink and white, and well-bred, and ingenue, and in every respect perfectly suitable." Poppy looked mutinously, even mischievously, at Dominic Iglesias. "Poor, dear old Alaric," she said. "I don't quarrel with him.
