"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree. ~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel. ~Curtains~
It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known. ~A Tale of Two Cities ~
I didn't realize he was doing so well. Good for him!

Who did Shuler play in Les Mesiarble? I don't remember that show.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
My town is adjacent to Montclair, and while that's a beautiful house, 'manse' is stretch. It's a nice, big house in a neighborhood filled with nice, big houses. There are real manses in Montclair, but this isn't one of them.

And it continues to blow my mind that there are houses so large that one three times the size of the house I grew up in isn't considered a mansion.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I'll be in Montclair in a few weeks. Maybe we'll drive by one of these houses.

Drive along Upper Mountain Ave. The houses are impressive, and though you can't tell from street-level, the houses on the uphill side of the street have a beautiful view of the NYC skyline. If you do, keep in mind that the one with the arched driveway is mine, after I win Powerball.

If you drive through Upper Montclair, you might even see Stephen Colbert or Yogi Berra.

He also played the Phantom in the German production of 'Phantom of the Opera' for quite a long time - I'm sure that was lucrative on its own. Plus 'Young Frankenstein'. I really like him as a performer.
Remember that Hensley also played Frankenstein in the Universal Studios flop "Van Helsing" starring Hugh Jackman. While the movie wasn't a success I'm sure he got paid a pretty penny for his pretty hefty supporting role.
