Captain Wragge listened with his usual politeness; but he evidently derived no satisfactory impression from what he heard. Audiences of friends were audiences whom he privately declined to trust; and the opinion of the stage-manager was the opinion of a man who spoke with his fee in his pocket and his eye on a future engagement. "Interesting, deeply interesting," he said, when Magdalen had done.
"You better walk out front and help yourself." He indicated the stairs which led up to the galleried boxes and the steps leading down on to the main floor, but she handed him another coin, begging him to find Glenister and bring him to her. "Hurry; hurry!" she implored. The stage-manager gazed at her curiously, remarking, "My! You spend your money like it had been left to you.
Kate, who believed everything that Dick told her, listened with a heightened temperature. At Margate the admirer of Herve's music became an American who wished to see Chilperic, Trone d'Ecosse, Le Petit Faust, L'Oeil Creve, Marguerite de Navarre, reproduced as they had been produced under the composer's direction when Dick was stage-manager at that theatre.

And then I'll empty the holy-water pot over dear Mr Sheepshanks' head when he's looking the other way. You are a genius, auntie, though you're too modest to be conscious of it. But you're very ungrateful all the same, for if it hadn't been for "
The three boys genii they are, and if I were stage-manager they should fly like Peter Pan lead Tamino into a grove wherein stand three temples dedicated respectively to Wisdom, Nature, and Reason.
‘When we’re a leetle more perfect, I think it will go admirably,’ said Mr. Sempronius, addressing his corps dramatique, at the conclusion of the hundred and fiftieth rehearsal. In consideration of his sustaining the trifling inconvenience of bearing all the expenses of the play, Mr. Sempronius had been, in the most handsome manner, unanimously elected stage-manager. ‘Evans,’ continued Mr.
He avoided the prompt-box, whence he could have caught a glimpse of her, being loath to meet the stage-manager just at present. Walter Jelliffe came up to him, as he sat on a box and brooded on life. 'A little less of the double forte, old man, he said. 'Miss Weaver has been kicking about the noise on the side.
