“Charmion threw mirrors and buttons with pictures of herself to all parts of the auditorium, not forgetting the gallery, and had the house coming and going.”
"Charmion needed no introduction. She was the cynosure of all eyes when she came upon the stage and mounted her trapeze, and as she began shedding her outer integuments three spectators climbed on the stage and won their tokens. The audience [...] stood up on its hind legs and howled."
"Her work on the trapeze, remarkable though it was, became a mere incident to her performance."
