Adventures and Letters

CHAPTER X
75/79

But the best part of it was the pantomime.

Ellaline came up a trap with a diamond dress and her hair down her back and electric lights all over her, and said, "I am the Fairy Queen," and waved her wand, at which the "First Boy" in the pantomime said, "Go long, now, do, we know your tricks, you're Ellaline Terriss"; and the clown said, "You're wrong, she's not, she's Mrs.
Seymour Hicks." Then Letty Lind came on as Columbine in black tulle, and Arthur Roberts as the policeman, and Eddy Payne as the clown and Storey as Pantaloon.
The rest of it brought on everybody.

Sam Sothern played a "swell" and stole a fish.

Louis Freear, a housemaid, and all the leading men appeared as policemen.

No one had more than a line to speak which just gave the audience time to recognize him or her.
