In the aisleâ€"stood Mrs. Hemmingway, a plump sylph in the halfâ€"light of the auditorium. She apparently.wanted to sit down, so I made room for her beside me. I got tired ‘of listening to her symâ€" pathizing with him and went out in the auditorium by myself.~ T did not care to talk to any one.. To criticize my acting was one thing, but to make personal remarks about the shape of my legs was going too far. / I â€"madeâ€"upâ€"my mind to withdraw from the Sheridan Dramatic clubâ€"as soon as the performance of "Pygmaâ€" lion and Galatea" was over.

I had to play sevâ€" eral loveâ€"scenes with Maryella, but I was so acutely conscious of her critiâ€" cism‘that I did them very badly. "All right," said the coach.
