The main thing was the acting and the dance it was the funniest thing in New York for five months. Delmars's song, 'I'll Woo Thee to My Sylvan Home, while he and Miss Carroll were cutting hide-and-seek capers among the tropical plants, was a winner." "What's the trouble with the scene now?" asked the sergeant. "Miss Carroll spoils it right in the middle of it," said the playwright wrathfully.
It found expression in the clothes which the men wore and in the rings and the bracelets of their wives. It followed the crowds that went to the theatre and made them hoot down any playwright who dared to sin against the iron law of good taste or good sense. The Greeks even insisted upon this quality in their politicians and in their most popular athletes.
The playwright had never objected, nor had the jovial illustrator who occupied the front apartment, but he, as he admitted, "was usually pye-eyed, when he wasn't in Buffalo." He went home to Buffalo sometimes to rest his nerves. It had never occurred to Hedger that any one would mind using the tub after Caesar; but then, he had never seen a beautiful girl caparisoned for the bath before.
It is wise to avoid the thorny question how far the recognized leading ladies of our first-class theatres are satisfactory yet it may be said that a successful playwright recently complained that as a body they were not, and that, despite his protests, he was compelled to have his works performed by the ladies in possession and judicious to shirk the proposition, sometimes put forward, that some of these do not hold their positions by mere force of merit.
Beaumarchais, who at last achieved such a dazzling and portentous success by one dramatic masterpiece, began his career as a playwright by following the vein of The Father of the Family; but The Marriage of Figaro, though not without strong traces of Diderotian sentiment in pungent application, yet is in its structure and composition less French than Spanish.
Poet, b. at Borderstown, New Jersey, was successively a lawyer, a soldier, and a journalist, in which last capacity he ed. Critic and dramatist, belonged to a Roman Catholic family, and was an unsuccessful playwright, a literary hack, and a critic of little acumen or discrimination. He attacked Pope as "Sawny Dapper," and was in return embalmed in The Dunciad. He also wrote a Life of Defoe.
Less intransigent than Balzac, the executors allowed its five acts to be reduced to three, and a considerable amount of suppression and remodelling to be operated by a professional playwright, Adolphe Dennery.
Then the outer door opened, and the Baron's old servant hurried me in. "Come in, sir," she said, "come in; the Baron is longing for you to come!" I found Baron Taylor in his bath, and beside him a playwright reading a tragedy. The fellow had insisted on entering, had caught the examiner of plays in his bath, and was inflicting on him a play of over two thousand lines!
Out in the dimness beyond the stage the thin figure of the new playwright rose dazedly from an orchestra chair. "What what's this?" he stammered, the choked sounds he made not reaching the stage. "What's the matter?" The question came from Carson Tinker, but his tone was incurious, manifesting no interest whatever. Tinker's voice, like his pale, spectacled glance, was not tired; it was dead.
He loves the Mendelians because he hates all the big names of the eighties and nineties. Then I think I remarked that science was disgracefully under-endowed, and confessed I'd had to take to more profitable courses. 'The fact of it is, I said, 'I'm the new playwright, Thomas More. Perhaps you've heard ? Well, you know, he had." "Fame!" "Isn't it? 'I've not seen your play, Mr.
