JUVENILE LEAD. I'm out of it anyway.

FOURTH ACTOR. I should like to know who they are

FIFTH ACTOR. It's rather a joke.

THIRD ACTOR. Well, we'll see what's going to happen
next.

by the little door at the back; others retiring to their dressing-
rooms.

The curtain remains up.

The action of the play is suspended for twenty minutes).
