O, certainly," replied the Understudy, "it's very bright; there's a laugh in every second line, plenty of pretty girls, and I don't think Strange as it doubtless will appear to the uneducated in this particular line of attraction, I even prefer gazing at stage doors to gazing at the drama from a comfortable seat in the stalls; not that I have ever had a comfortable, or otherwise, seat in this critical division of the house, but I have watched the graceful ease with which certain frequenters of this select place recline and devour the stage products. I have also watched them devouring the products of another part of the house between the acts, but I merely mention this en passant. Now if I ever saw any of the great stars going in or coming out, perhaps there might be an excuse for my eccentricity (an evasive word, spiteful folks will say), but as a matter of fact I don't. I try hard enough, goodness knows (what a heap of secrets goodness must know to be sure), but up to now I have signally failed. I never appear to be able to see above the first violin, the stage manager, or the ballet master. A poor record this everybody but the three gentlemen just mentioned will conclude, and so do I. However, I am seriously thinking of humouring myself into the belief that to see the critics come out of the main exit after a first night would be a sight worth seeing. Take the Lyceum stage door. Everyone knows where it is surely. Well, I have stood night after night in the immediate vicinity Yes, without doubt mine is an exceptional case, a somewhat pitiable one also, I am at times inclined to think, and yet after all I verily believe I squeeze more enjoyment out of the stage doors than many inside habitues squeeze out of the actors and actresses - lady members of the profession kindly note that I write in a figurative sense - at any rate judging from many of the newspaper reports - I beg pardon, newspaper criticisms.

Doorkeeper — Hope On Demand His Name is The Doorkeeper — Hope On Demand

It is easy to understand how His listeners could be confused by three images used at once, which is why Jesus went on to be more specific about Himself being The Door, and The Good Shepherd. But who is The Doorkeeper? Since Jesus does not explain, we look to the rest of the scriptures for an answer. Paul and Timothy) passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, after being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia; and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them …. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and pleading with him, and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” When he had seen the vision, we immediately sought to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.”( Acts 16:6-10) The letter H can be useful to create some two-letter words but there are some longer, high scoring words too. Here are some examples. I am quite convinced in my own mind that these premiers artistes have either a subway laid on for their especial use, or some indescribable overhead arrangement which quietly drops them in and takes them out, via the roof.

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes… I have stood for hours at the Gaiety stage door to see Nelly Farren or Fred Leslie, but I have never succeeded; and it has more than once been all I could do to extricate myself from a mass of collars, eye-glasses, and wooden heads. Perhaps the Doyen among stage door keepers in London is to be found installed at lyceum. This individual is quite a veteran, and was attached to the theatre when Sir Henry Irving was far less familiar to the player going public than is the case nowadays. He’s an old soldier, wearing several medals on his breast, and he is said to be a very sound judge of the drama. In some of the London and provincial theatres the duties of stage door keeper are undertaken by ex actors who, finding as they have advanced in years that opportunities for playing parts grow more difficult to secure, have thankfully accepted the position. noon and night, wet or fine - he simply can't tear himself away from the theatre; and when he takes a holiday he goes to the play!" There is no door the Holy Spirit cannot close and no door He cannot open to ensure that the proper access is given at the proper time in the proper way according to the perfect will of God. He is The Doorkeeper of God’s great Kingdom.

Stage Door Keeper The Stage Door Keeper

Most importantly of all, just like his constant companion, the theatre cat (actors being a superstitious lot, almost every theatre kept one), he was the very soul of discretion - hearing the secrets of everyone but divulging none. To the theatrical folk, he was their shoulder to lean on and a friendly ear to tell their troubles to, and when were bad he invariably had some anecdote to tell that would help to cheer them up. Of course he had little time for the performing arts himself, or so he would almost invariably claim, but ask the right question and he could give you chapter and verse about almost any play that had ever been produced in his theatre (and in a very real sense it was 'his' theatre), or at least in his time there. My Cosy-Corner Girl" is the geni of the production, and when sung by Henry Lytton it is a geni in the right setting. The old Adelphi is crowded nowanights, so book early if you want to see the Girl." Of course the recipient of such gifts is expected to do something in return. The chief matter demanded of him is to take in and deliver letters and messages, etc., for members of the company. In connection with this, however, exists another source of profit, for a stage door keeper always considers himself fully entitled to a "tip" if he transmits a callers card or message behind the scenes. When the obligation is not recognised he is apt to be suddenly possessed of conscientiouis qualms and to remember that his duties altogether prevent him leaving his post. Should the enquirer innocently suggest that the difficulty might be obviated by requisitioning the services of a call the proposal will be scouted with vigour. By this time however, the visitor will probably have perceived what it is that is expected of him, and on producing a coin will be pleased to find his wishes promptly carried out. For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners. Calling on His Name: Spirit of God, thank you for opening for me the Door of salvation that I might come in to faith in Jesus. I know that there is no closed door before me today that You cannot open if it is pleasing to God. I appeal to You, The Doorkeeper, to open doors for serving Jesus and doors of answered prayer. Close the doors in my life against those who come to harass the sheep of God. Amen.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) I had rather be a doorkeeper.--Better, I had rather wait on the threshold, as not worthy (LXX. and Vulgate, "be rejected in scorn") to enter the precincts. The idea of "doorkeeper," however, though not necessarily involved in the Hebrew word, is suggested in a Korahite psalm, since the Korahites were "keepers of the gates of the tabernacle, and keepers of the entry." Compare with this wish the words which a Greek poet puts into the mouth of his hero, who sweeps the threshold of Apollo's temple: One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple. That's quite true," said the Understudy; "I had a night off last night and I went to the Adelphi to see 'The Earl and the Girl'.'' Well," interrupted the Understudy, "I don't know that I should mean it the way you mean. The piece is certainly horticultural. Both acts end with a tableau of flowers, and the grouping is the same as a floral ballet in a pantomime! There is rather too much of the roses and garden-stuff business. Nobody will surely have the temerity to send up any bouquets during this run. It would seem like rubbing it in!"
