The "gas mans" duties are to attend to

charge of the hundred and one little

ever ready voice must help the players If
they stumble in their lines, and his hand
must ring the curtain up and down and
give the signals to the orchestra.
A man who can do all these things be-
sides keeping a watchful eye on the scenery
and the players themselves is rara avis,
but the success or failure of amateur per-
formances depends largely on the presence
of such a man in the club.
The actors should fully understand the
difficult position which the man who con-
sents to be their stage manager assumes
and grant him implicit obedience, thor
ough respect and every little consideration
which is in their power. They should re-

Above everything else, he must be firm
an autocrat behind the scenes from an
hour before the play begins until the cur
tain hides the last scene from view. From
his decision there must be no appeal. He
will sometimes be wrong, no doubt, but ii
is better that one man should make mis-
take and let it go at that than that half q
dozen should quarrel over the matter till
they get it right. All his suggestions
should be received good humoredly, even if
he speaks sharply, for he has many things
to think of and be annoyed by. On the
other hand, the stage manager should en-
force his bidding in a genial spirit and
never lose his temper. Directions given
in a quiet but decisive tone will always
prove more effective than loud and bolster
GUS orders.
As prompter, the stage manager must
have almost as thorough knowledge of the
lines of the play rs the actors themselves
AS a general director of their work hs
must read between the lines and form in
MS nina the groups anu pictures WHICH
are TO be put upon the stage. The place in
which every actor must stand while deliv-
ering every line must be studied out as
carefully as the way in which the line
should be spoken. For the convenience OF
stage managers and actors in this regard,
the stage was long ago divided by imagi-
nary lines, as shown in the diagram.
