"Of course a director's got only one weapon to use against the owners of a show, when it comes down to an issue, and that's a threat to resign unless they let him have his way. I've used that twice in this production already, and I can see one or two places coming where I may have to use it again.
At times she wished that she had never gone into the affair; at others, she trembled lest she should be paralysed with fear and stand white and gasping, not knowing what to say and spoiling the entire performance. In the matter of the company, Mr. Bamberger had disappeared. That hopeless example had fallen under the lance of the director's criticism. Mrs.
"I wonder that the director doesn't prohibit all visitors from entering the pavilion. Roch owes his present attack to a Count d'Artigas, for whose amusement harmful questions were put to him." "I will call the director's attention to the matter," responded the doctor. He then descended the steps and Gaydon, leaving the door of the pavilion ajar, accompanied him to the end of the path.
But, singularly enough, the fiction that the opera is a branch of absolute music is everywhere kept up; every vocalist is aware of the musical director's ignorance of the business of an opera; yet if it should happen that the right instincts of gifted singers, musicians and executants generally are aroused by a fine work, and bring about a successful performance are we not accustomed to see the Herr Capellmeister called to the front, and otherwise rewarded, as the representative of the total artistic achievement?
It was added to, moreover, by the singular grace of the girl's figure and mode of standing there before the stranger, as she had risen from her easel on his presenting her with the Director's note.

The Winnebagos found themselves seated in a row down the side of one of the long tables, being served by a jolly-looking, muscular-armed councilor, who turned out to be the Camp Director's daughter, and who had her section of the table feeling at home in no time. "Seven of you from one city!" she remarked to the Winnebagos, when she had called the roll of "native heaths," as she put it.
Some one must have kicked it way over here!" Fully twenty feet from Werner's place in the glare of the lights was the hollow stem of a champagne glass, its base intact save for a narrow segment. In the stem still were a couple of drops of the wine, as if in a bulb or tube. "Can it be the director's glass?" Mackay asked, handing it to Kennedy.
The girl swayed upon the bare trunk, balancing herself prettily, and glanced back over her shoulder. Tom had brought the car to a stop. When the engine was shut off they could hear the director's commands: "That's it, Hazel. Keep that pose. Got your focus, Carroll?" he called to the camera man. "Now ready! Register fear, Miss Hazel. Say! act as though you meant it!
Dowd, the golf addict, is still in the private office givin' Old Hickory another earful about the Scotch plague, ain't he?" "No, sir," says Vincent. "Mr. Ellins asked him to wait half an hour or so. He's in the director's room." "Maybe I'd better take a look at your Mr. Schott first then," says I. But after I'd gone out and given him the north and south careful I was right where I started.
"The fact that you sold out so soon before the fall will have its significance," said the first man. "The thing has a suspicious look."
