Читать книгу Lost Voices of the Edwardians: 1901–1910 in Their Own Words - Max Arthur, Max Arthur - Страница 106

We used to do a school play at Christmas time. This particular year we did Sleeping Beauty. One of the older girls in the Seventh Standard chose the characters. She chose a girl named Annie Silverman for the Sleeping Beauty and I was Fairy Crocus. She showed the list to Miss Poole, who used to stay behind and rehearse us. She looked at the list and said, ‘We can't have Annie Silverman for Sleeping Beauty. We'll have Betsy Schiffenbaum instead.’ That was me. There was a feud between Annie Silverman and me for years. We put the play on in Toynbee Hall and it was a great thrill – it was wonderful.
