To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" This will have cheered him up, " thought I — but no. There I left him waiting for his next cue, but I had not gone far before renewed roars of applause from the house told me Dan Leno was again on the stage. What a power to be able to amuse thousands of people I FIRST PANTOMIME REHEARSAL 217 every week, to be able to bring mirth and joy into many a heart, to take people out of themselves and make the saddest merry — and Dan can do all this.
The object of my second visit was to have a little c...hat with Miss Madge Lessing, the " principal girl, " who exclaimed as I entered her dressing-room : " I spend eleven hours in the theatre every day during the run of the pantomime. " After that who can say a pantomime part is a sinecure ? Eleven hours every day dressing, singing, dancing, acting, or — more wearisome of all — waiting. No one unaccustomed to the stage can realise the strain of such work, for it is only those who live at such high pressure, who always have to be on the alert for the " call-boy, " who know what it is to be kept at constant tension for so many consecutive hours.
