Chapter Ten Australia i T IS the unexpected in theatre life that makes it so thrilling and interesting. One night during the playing of " Spring Cleaning, " there sat in the audience a man who watched the play and the acting very intently. He had sent his card back to Pauline telling her that he wished to see her about a very important matter at the close of the performance. He was E. J. Carroll, the well-known Australian impresario. At the end of the performance, he went to Pauline's dressing room and there they had a very serious talk. She had supper with him, and as they supped, he presented a very interesting proposition to her. He wished to take her and some of the company to Australia for a tour in the play that they were now doing. His offer was a very enticing one and Pauline was quite thrilled at the idea. Moreover, she had taken an immense liking to Mr. Carroll as a manager, and as it afterwards turned out, he was the one manager in all her career who really took care of her interests in every way. It was unfortunate that he died a few years later. Days were now filled with exciting preparations for the trip, for in addition to " Spring Cleaning," Mr. Carroll had secured the rights of another play called " The Lady." The cast had to be picked and rehearsals sufficiently under way so that they could be completed during the voyage. Pauline 125
