Papa Quotes - page 4

Papa always says there's room for everyone, but some people certainly take theirs up without making it interesting. (John Barnes)
Papa told her about a Lohengrin performance. It was just before his first entrance. He was ready to step into the boat, which, drawn by a swan, was to take him on-stage. Somehow the stagehand on the other side got his signals mixed, started pulling, and the swan left without Papa. He quietly turned around and said: "What time's the next swan?" That story has since become a classic in operatic lore. View quote
