For several hours he lifted up his voice in continuous song. His repertoire was extensive and varied. To this day I can clearly recall the words as well as the tune of two of his ditties. One related to the history of a pair of corduroy breeches, year by year, since the close of the last decade, each year being treated of in a couplet.
Of these I actually sing three hours. The first hour to memory work on repertoire. The second hour to vocalizes. The rest of the time is given to repertoire and the things that belong to it." Barrientos states she gives about three-quarters of an hour to vocal technic scales and exercises each day.
He might have said to Dea, as in our day Moessard said to Vissot, Tu manques de respect au repertoire. "The Laughing Man." Such was the form of Gwynplaine's fame. His name, Gwynplaine, little known at any time, had disappeared under his nickname, as his face had disappeared under its grin. His popularity was like his visage a mask.
He did astonishing things with the billiard balls, making them run all over his body like mice and balancing them on cues and juggling with them five at a time. I think that day he must have gone through his whole répertoire. The party assembled for tea in the drawing-room. Fendihook's first words to Liosha were: "Hallo, my Balkan Queen, how have you been getting on?"

Will the salvage warrant helping us into port; that is, New Orleans? There hope tells a flattering tale. The company is well equipped; has a varied repertoire, while Constance" tenderly "is a host in herself. If you knew her as I do; had watched her art grow" his voice trembled "and to think, sometimes I do not know where the next day's sustenance may come from! That she"
Some one suggested your going on the road, as they say, with that one thing as your repertoire making a tour of the cheap moving-picture houses of a certain section?" Elsie grew very pale; her lips trembled. One interested wholly in her dramatic career, seeing her at that moment, might have concluded that the girl had it in her to develop a capacity for tragedy as well as comedy.
