However, the night of the performance, Marjorie's nerves get the best of her and she forgets her lines. The audience becomes restless and begins to boo her off the stage. Marjorie is devastated and believes that her dreams of becoming an actress are over. However, a kind and experienced actress helps Marjorie regain her confidence and encourages her to try again. With newfound courage, Marjorie takes to the stage once more and delivers a stunning performance, winning over the audience and fulfilling her dream of becoming an actress. The story is a heartwarming tale of perseverance and the power of believing in oneself.They were crowded on both sides of the stage with the members of the company; the girls were tiptoeing, with their hands on the shoulders of the men, and making futile little leaps into the air to get a better view, and others were resting on one knee that those behind might see over their shoulders. There were over a dozen children before the footlights, with the prima donna in the centre. She was singing the verses of a song, and they were following her movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Richard Harding Davis was an American journalist, fiction and drama writer who is best remembered for becoming the first American war correspondent to cover the Spanish-American War, the Second Boer War, and WWI. His writing considerably helped Theodore Roosevelt's political career. He also played a significant effect in the evolution of American magazines. His impact extended to the world of fashion, and he is credited with popularizing the clean-shaven style among males at the start of the twentieth century. Davis was born April 18, 1864, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His mother, Rebecca Harding Davis, was a well-known writer in her day. His father, Lemuel Clarke Davis, was a journalist who edited the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Davis attended Episcopal Academy when he was a young man. After an unsatisfactory year at Swarthmore College, Davis relocated to Lehigh University, where his uncle, H. Wilson Harding, was a professor. Davis' first book, a collection of short stories titled The Adventures of My Freshman (1884), was published while he was at Lehigh. Many of the tales had previously appeared in the student magazine, the Lehigh Burr. Davis attended Johns Hopkins University after transferring in 1885.
