Vaudeville has risen to such a respectable plane in the last few years, and Mr. Hargraves was such a modest and well-mannered person, that Mrs. Vardeman could find no objection to enrolling him upon her list of boarders. At the theatre Hargraves was known as an all-round dialect comedian, having a large repertoire of German, Irish, Swede, and black-face specialties. But Mr.
There was no music to-night, though the band had played the cheeriest items of its repertoire outside the saloon door during dinner. Many of the passengers were in their cabins already, for the Grandhaven was rolling gently on the shoulder of the Atlantic swell. The sea was heavy, but not so heavy as they would certainly encounter west of the Land's End.
He announced in a high flute-like voice that in consequence of indisposition, which a sworn medical affirmation confirmed here he raised a laugh by sticking his tongue in his cheek "La Belle Stamboulane" would not appear might have to depart for Constantinople for convalescence, but that the bewitching Fraulein von Vieradlers one of the few authentic noble vocalists on the variety stage following in the footsteps of certain princesses would oblige, for the first time on any stage, with selections from her repertoire, etc.
That Same Evening, just when she needed Smelling Salts and Absolute Quiet, her enthusiastic Father would have Fiance up to Dinner and pull the same stale Repertoire and splash around in the Oil and Vinegar. If any Guests were present, then Father would play Introducer and tell them beforehand how good Kenneth was.
The kinematographic theater soon had its Shakespeare repertoire; Ibsen has been played and the dramatized novels on the screen became legion. Victor Hugo and Dickens scored new triumphs.
They are always scrupulously clean which is a wonder for Russian peasants for they are made to change their clothes twice a day. They have a magnificent orchestrion instead of an orchestra here, and I could scarcely eat those beautiful dinners for listening to the music. We became so well acquainted with the répertoire that our friends, knowing our taste, ordered the music to match the courses.
With boxing, broadsword, and single-stick play, drill and skylarking, the hours of daylight were whiled away; and by night the men off duty would gather about the forecastle lantern to play with greasy, well-thumbed cards, or warble tender ditties to black-eyed Susans far across the Atlantic. Patriotic melodies formed no small part of Jack's musical repertoire.
And the regularity and persistency of this clock! Not only did it announce the hours, but it sounded the halves and quarters, clearing its throat with a whirr like an admonitory cough before each utterance. I had samples of its entire repertoire as I sat there: One...two...three...four...five then half an hour later a whir-r and a single note. "Half-past five," I said to myself.
I understand the Orpheum has next week dark, through yesterday's failure of The Married Bachelor Comedy Company. Why don't you get the Orpheum for us and back our show for the week? We have twelve operas in our repertoire. The scenery and props are very poor, the costumes are only half-way decent and the chorus is the rattiest-looking lot you ever saw in your life; but they can sing.
Now, she surprised them by her physical faculty of rivalling the spinning dervishes of the East now, by declaiming verses, and acting a whole répertoire of parts, both laughter-raising and tear-compelling now, by waking in the night, and cheating her restlessness by inventions that alternately diverted and teased her companions.
