These ~rehearsals without stars mean
hard work for the other members OF

IL. OFTEN. too, one actor holds the nan
uscript while another runs through II.

company nowadays. Rehearsals usually
run at first from II o'clock until 4 In
the afternoon. Then later, vixen the
costumes arrive. there Is an evening
dress parade before the dressmaker,
the wlgmaker and the shoemaker to sec
that everything fits. and finally. OF
course. the dress rehearsal.
