Brother Boche has grown "wise" to Flying Matinées nowadays, and to score a real success you have to present him with something comparatively novel and unexpected. However, our scheme had been carefully thought out; and, given sufficient preparation, and an adequate cast, there seemed no reason to doubt that the piece would have a highly successful run of one night.
"Oh!" she gasped in wistful-voiced soliloquy, as she leaned against her mop-stick and gazed aspiringly at the stage, "I wonder if I couldn't rise!" "Sure thing, you kin!" derisively assured Pete Noyes, vender of gum at matinees. "I'll speak to de maniger. Mebby he'll let youse scrub de galleries."
And this is not to be wondered at, if we consider the physical weakness under which he was then labouring. When Chopin went before these matinees to Broadwood's to try the pianoforte on which he was to play, he had each time to be carried up the flight of stairs which led to the piano-room.
"The Comtesse d'Horville gives literary matinées," said Sabine, quite on fire with the idea; "Madame Evan has poems and tragedies read at her receptions, I shall have lecturers and savants, since that is fashionable." And what a woman wishes, a grandee of Spain willed, it appeared.
It must have been either Wednesday the seventh or Saturday the tenth." "Yes," I said, "if they didn't have daily matinees at the Coliseum." I heard him give a sort of howl. "Bobbie," I said. My feet were freezing, but I was fond of him. "Well?" "I've remembered something too. It's this. The day you went to the Coliseum I lunched with you both at the Ritz.
"But this is your first winter in the city, and you ought to be enjoying concerts and theatres, meeting people, seeing things." "Oh, I only keep such hours as I elect, being a post graduate; and I've been to several theatres," I said; "Kitty and I get seats in the top gallery." "The the top gallery?" "At matinees," I hastily explained, "and not not lately."
Sole Proprietor E.H. Machin." Unreal! Fantastic! Was this he, Edward Henry? Could it be his mother's son? Still "Matinées every Wednesday and Saturday." "Every Wednesday and Saturday." That word implied and necessitated a long run anyhow a run extending over months. That word comforted him. Though he knew as well as you do that Mr.
For a week the trio was the butt of all the wits at Fort Warrener. And yet the entire commissioned force felt that they were being kept at the grindstone because of the frivolity of these few youngsters, and they did not like it. All the same the cavalrymen stuck up for their colonel, and the infantrymen respected him, and the matinées were business-like and profitable.
But the newest and most fashionable form of winter sport this season is The Flying Matinée. This entertainment takes place during the small hours of the morning, and is strictly limited to a duration of ten minutes quite long enough for most matinées, too. The actors are furnished by a unit of "K " and the rôle of audience is assigned to the inhabitants of the Boche trenches immediately opposite.
A darkened theatre, fantastically decorated in scarlet and silver: a French orchestra already playing a delicate prelude: a lively audience a typical "Moor" audience agreeably ready to be piqued and scandalized as well as amused. All the plays Isabel had ever seen were Salisbury matinees of "As You Like It" and "Julius Caesar."
