CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

TWENTY SIX
It was the light that drew me to the theater as
a way of life. The idea that night could be changed
into day, first by whale oil and tallow candles, then
with gaslight, followed eventually by electricity, was
irresistible when it was coupled with story and music.
Melodrama, operetta, comedy, tragedy, classics – I
loved everything and anything the theater offered.
I would watch the same shows night after night
without tiring of the material or the performances. I
loved it all.
