If the ghost of my own dad was to pop out of that lamp chimbley there, noose and all, I wouldn't bat an eye." "Tell me! What has happened?" demanded David, sitting down. He observed that the others wore very serious expressions. Joey was frowning. "Well, 't is a bitter tale," observed Dick, in his most theatric drawl. "Don't look so solemn, Ruby.
New hoots and cries ascended to the station rafters. "Who pays the police?" "We do." "Who owns 'em?" "Cargan." Thus question and answer were bandied back and forth. Again a voice demanded in strident tones the ignominious tar and feathers. Jim Cargan had not risen from the slums to be master of his town without a keen sense of the theatric. He ordered the police back into the car.
Her distress began to seem a little too theatric, her troubles self-induced all but one madness did in very truth seem to hover over her, a baleful, imminent shadow. Clarke, looming darkly, confronted him in the lower hall. "Well met, Dr. Serviss. I'd like a word with you." "I have a request to make of you," responded Serviss.
With the stage-director standing thus, for benefit or hindrance, between the author and the audience, how is the public to appreciate what the dramatist himself has, or has not, done? An occasion is remembered in theatric circles when, at the tensest moment in the first-night presentation of a play, the leading actress, entering down a stairway, tripped and fell sprawling.
But breeding has carried many a woman over the ploughshares of life, and her mind was probably strong enough to go on to the inevitable without theatric climax.

And who does not feel that the chief glory of Piranesi's book on Vases is that it gave Keats the suggestion for his 'Ode on a Grecian Urn'? Art, and art only, can make archaeology beautiful; and the theatric art can use it most directly and most vividly, for it can combine in one exquisite presentation the illusion of actual life with the wonder of the unreal world.
All the troop advanced in beautiful order, at a foot's pace, the horns of various sorts animating the dogs and horses. There was an animation in the scene, a mirage of light, of which nothing now can give an idea, unless it be the fictitious splendor of a theatric spectacle. D'Artagnan, with an eye a little, just a little, dimmed by age, distinguished behind the group three carriages.
The lamplight showed a pitiful change in him; he was yellow and fishy-eyed, unshaven, disorderly in dress indeed, so well did he look the part of the despairing lover that Warburton suspected a touch of theatric consciousness. "If you hadn't come to-night," said Will, "I should have looked you up." Franks lay limply in the armchair, staring blankly.
This play has deservedly held the stage for nearly a century, and bids fair still to be applauded after the youngest critic has died. It is undeniably a very good play. It tells a thrilling story in a series of carefully graded theatric situations.
He wore a sack suit and a Panama hat and his thin, fine face, the puff of curled white hair at the back of his neck, the gayety of his glance gave an almost theatric touch to his appearance, so that one felt he might at any moment come down stage and sing a topical song in the best Gilbertian manner. It was an old scene with a new setting.
