Our
aunt had an electric wire from the theatre to her room. A telegram used to be
dispatched to her at coffee-time, and it used to consist of the words, "Herr
Sivertsen is at the machinery;" for it was he who gave the signal for drawing
the curtain up and down and for changing the scenes. From him she used to
receive a short and concise description of every piece. His opinion of
Shakspeare's "Tempest," was, "Mad nonsense! There's so much to put up, and the
first scene begins with 'Water to the front of the wings.'
" That is to
say, the water had to come forward so far. But when, on the other hand, the same
interior scene remained through five acts, he used to pronounce it a sensible,
well-written play, a resting play, which performed itself, without putting up
scenes. In earlier times, by which name our aunt used to designate thirty years
ago, she and the before-mentioned Herr Sivertsen had been younger. At that time
he had already been connected with the machinery, and was, as she said, her
benefactor.
At that time he had already been connected with the
machinery, and was, as she said, her benefactor. It used to be the custom in
those days that in the evening performances in the only theatre the town
possessed, spectators were admitted to the part called the "flies," over the
stage, and every machinist had one or two places to give away. Often the flies
were quite full of good company; it was said that generals' wives and privy
councillors' wives had been up there. It was quite interesting to look down
behind the scenes, and to see how the people walked to and fro on the stage when
the curtain was down.
