Gracie played all the roles, including elastic women, maid Victoria, Spanish dancers, and vacuum cleaners, and in one scene, Archie's daughter. In the Sheffield performance, Grace showed the appropriate musical number: Laugh Clown Laugh, I Love No-But You, and the Show's the Thing. However, the fastest girlfriend showed more numbers in the first act of his solo.

In the playback, the scenes and songs changed every day, keeping the dignity before arriving in London. On the first day of the week of March 3, 1930, in the Southampton Theater program, Glaki Seeds is described as a performer of Sting Clouds with Sunlight on stage 1. For example, on the right week of the story at the Story Sam Hill Empire Theater, many important changes occurred in the show. However, Glacie has performed a duet number with Monty Ryan in the second act. Other compositions include the replacement of artists and the violin solo of Tommy Fields.

Tony Parry (after marriage to Edith Fields

During the rehearsal of the London Show, Gracie and Arch were quarreled due to the relationship between Glacie and John Franagan, and Gracey left the show two days before the opening, and Franagan and Henry Savage headed to Cannes, who had already closed. 。 "I immediately gathered a small suitcase, arrived at Victoria Station with a feeling like a criminal, and took a taxi to France."

Tommy "searches only for entertainment

When Glacie arrived in Paris, he was guilty and called home. Tommy Fields was upset by the first great success in London and asked if he could return to Japan. Archie replied, "I haven't asked me to go home," and said he would go home if he wanted to return. When she returned home, Annie Lipman opened the tower door and said, "I thought I would come back."

The show was held in Victoria Palace, London, and was forced to move to the theater for the next variety. Later, The Show's the Thing was relocated to the Lysium Theater, opened on August 19, 1929, and then moved to the Winter Garden Theater in Durley Lane. The show was performed in three theaters at the West End, but the box office revenue ended in two of them, despite the higher the performance.

Among the London Show programs we have, the musical numbers and scenes have not changed. The show was performed in three theaters at the West End for more than a year, and after the performance, Glacie spent a vacation in Franagan and Southern France, and then went to Capri.

During the performance in the Lysium, Louise Tetrazini visited him and sent a note to Gracey to sing a part of Travato together. Gracey played a song on the stage almost every night, throws a wet dish with Aria's climax into the audience, and hurried off the stage that night, and Louise was in the dressing room.

"Oh, singing in the opera, not this, it's a good, a great opera ... "But Gracie was not convinced.

-Ooo0oo--.

There are long but very interesting newspaper reports for this show.

On Wednesday, December 26, 1928, Archie Pitt performed a musical play consisting of 16 scenes with a book called Dance and Ensemble at the Royal Theater in Sauti.

"The show is itself"

The Showman ….. Mr. Harry Milton

Beau Ideal ….. Mr. Tommy Field

Actor Laddie ….. Mr. Edward Chapman

Dancing Girl ….. Miss Monty Ryan

Bareback Rider ….. Miss Mary Ludlow

Heavy Lead ….. Miss June Meredith

Boxer ….. Mr. Archie Pitt

Lady with the Elastic Voice ….. Miss gracie fields

Archie Pitt begins to act somewhat differently from his previous successes in The Show's the Thing. Although it is called a musical, it is more strictly true to its title of revue, although there is only one completely straight scene. The play has no coherent plot. "I'm not a revue," Pitt told the enthusiastic audience as the curtain fell on Boxing Night. "The reason is that I want you to see a Miss Fields revue in London's West End," he added.

The versatile performer puts on a splendid show. She appears in seven of the 16 scenes, and Pitt tried to get her to play a different character in each scene, revealing the range of her singing and acting talents. Pitt also works hard throughout the play, bringing Capitol humor to the play along with Tommy Fields. The whole production is staged and performed in a grand style, with beautiful stage effects, attractive dresses, and very strong choral support for the song and dance numbers. The play moves along smoothly, with lively, melodic words and music by Gordon Courtney.

The opening scene, a lively and colorful fair, serves to introduce the cast. It gives Miss Fields a phrase best suited to the song "Laugh Clown Laugh," and is in keeping with the style of the show's prologue. Her next appearance is in a little domestic comedy, Gulliver's Travels, in which she plays a temporary assistant hired to cater a dinner party for four. This contrasts with the next scene, in which Miss Fields sings solo numbers such as "We All Live in a Monastery," to great acclaim.

In addition to the help of Miss Fields, the leading role of this pleasant scenic, Pit is another three painters, Mary Radrow Miss Mary, Edward Chepman, and Miss Jun Meredis, another humorous sketch. The couple appeared. This scene occurs in the backyard "Tw o-Sorted" in the adjacent suburban, and the husband patiently explores French and German in accordance with the gestures of various holidays. Finally, the Russian Federation appears. Tommy Fields plays this half of the program, singing the song "I WISH SHE'S COME ALLONG", an eccentric dance, and a violin Burlesque solo. As with the large pot, 'EN' also dances "Dancing Shoes" with Harry Milton, Miss Dursi Le Blanc, and Miss Monty Ryan. Among the huge decorations, there are two dressed chorus numbers: 'CLAP YOUR HANDS' and 'We're Not as Bad as We are Painted'. In Sweet Small APARTMENT, a sketch, which expresses the life of the painting of an old village, a newlywed couple Monty Ryan and Harry Milton will appear through a long arch, and the pit will appear. < SPAN> In addition to the help of Miss Fields, the leading role of this pleasant scenario, Pit is another humorous, along with the other three painters, Miss Mary Radrow, Edward Chepman, and Miss Jun Meredis.

The second half of the programme featured a selection of lively Spanish dances in lovely costumes in a Spanish hotel, and a charming rendition of "I Prefer Only You" by Miss Gracie Fields. Monty Ryan's solo dance "Al Sereno" displayed his professionalism and artistry, while the final serenade "Carina" by Mr John David (a melodious tenor) and Miss Winnie Morgan and company provided a fitting end to one of the best musical numbers in the show. Mr Archie Pitt and Mr Tommy Fields played the carpenter and his friend, while Miss Gracie Fields, a cleaner hoping to join the choir, played the harmonium. Miss Fields, who is by her own description "the best Lancashire French", had ensured a delightful encore in the previous singing scene, but in this act she tries to use a bit of Welsh for comic effect, and at the end actually takes over the choir practice with aplomb. In the "Railroad Station" scene, in which Mr. Pitt and Mr. Tommy Fields are porters and a pile of cards is used to fill the lament of a misfortune-stricken lady, the musical number "The Policeman Ain't as Blue as He Looks," performed by Mr. Harry Milton and an absolute chorus of 40 men in police uniforms, was the most distinctive. The overall effect was great, and the song itself, which was sung with great enthusiasm, was met with warm applause. Milton also performed a full-scale song-and-dance number with Miss Monty Ryan.

The overall effect was great, and the song itself, which was sung with great enthusiasm, was met with warm applause. Milton also performed a full-scale song-and-dance number with Miss Monty Ryan.

Miss Fields' versatility is revealed in the scene at right, "Local Color." Mr. Pitt plays the aged father, Miss Fields the daughter, and Mr. Edward Chapman the gentleman in the house. In a cozy scene in the kitchen, the elderly father pleads with his daughter to take up a popular speech--she chooses her desires enthusiastically--and to admit that she is in love with the interest of a customer whom she describes from her point of view. When she finds out that he is not an unemployed clerk but a playwright who has only prevented her from learning about real life in the East End, the whole structure of her desire falls apart. This scene is a display of Miss Fields' talent for direct, psychological acting, and is gripping without being overloaded with unnecessary material. After a performance of blues by Miss Monty Ryan, Mr. Tommy Fields, Mr. Harry Milton, and the girls, Miss Fields thrills the audience with her brilliant renditions of "Ramona," "My Home in Ohio," and other song numbers, before the whole group joins in the final chorus of "Walk Up."

After a performance of blues by Miss Monty Ryan, Mr. Tommy Fields, Mr. Harry Milton and the girls, Miss Fields thrills the audience with glorious renditions of "Ramona," "My Home in Ohio," and other songs, before the whole group joins in the final chorus of "Walk Up."

There is no doubt about the success of The Show's the Thing. All seats are smart and evasion, the chorus is wonderful through the performance, the show itself is bright, attractive, colorful, and there is no boring. None of the scenes are tight, and the personal charm of Miss Fields enhances the fun stage she is. Archie Pit played the characters well, and Tommy Fields also gained a hot popularity. Miss Monty Ryan's dance is highly appreciated, with second plan artists working for Glory. In addition to those who have already mentioned in the plot, Miss Hilda Falde, Billy Kennedy, Ecel Cook, Eva Samuel, Margot Hovard, Dorothy Witside, Gene Aristone (the latter two dancers), Peter ・ Murray, Fred Hepper, Arthur Cums and others are playing the supporting roles. Ms. Annie Lipman is skillfully led an orchestra specially enhanced for this show. Bart Aza is a general manager of Archie Pit Productions, and Pat Aza is an assistant producer. Gordon is a company manager, Fred King is an accounting and secretary, George Juet is a stage manager, and Charles Nidol is a stage manager assistant.

Hardest map type

I am confident in myself and play high. I won the rule of diplomacy, space, the islands and Pangea culture.

What I am interested in now is what cards are most difficult to win. And what is the easiest way to win the most difficult map, and then you can try it with a new Civ IV other than a sword game.

You always do good things for noble people, so you should ask which type of card is the easiest to win.

Every type of card is as difficult and easy (?)

Everything depends on your favorite play style and the approach to the map.

If you are a militar y-oriented, Pangea will look very easy.

If you like peaceful games, I think the continent (or a big & amp; amp; small) is the easiest.

If you like the big fleet and can handle it well, Pangea will be difficult.

(Cards on the islands and islands tend to be difficult to win with concrete and dominations, which may be because I hate large water cards).

In any case, rocky and dry climate are always more difficult than temperate climate.

Why do you hear that? We may be able to provide some good ideas.

I just write because I like listening to writing.

Well, I can't agree with the nerd's opinion. I think the continent is most difficult for almost any style. The biggest problem is that you can't do anything at all to delay the AI ​​on other continents until you get astronomy. While being involved in the war on your continent, another continent often develops perfect peace and insane technology. Alternatively, AI dominates all other AIs and owns a huge territory.

This is the easiest because the islands, small island s-AI simply cannot adapt to such a small number of hammer environments.

Well, I can't agree with my otaku opinion. I think the continent is the most difficult in any style. The easiest is the archipelago and small islands.

TOTIBBS: Do you understand?

This is the easiest because the islands, small island s-AI simply cannot adapt to such a small number of hammer environments.

The difficulty of Archipelago and Islands indicates how incompatible with my fleet. I just write because I like listening to writing.

Both human players and AI start from the same map, so different types of maps are not "difficult" or "easy".

However, it is highly likely that a specific map type will create an "unbalanced" game, and there are civilization that gains great advantage depending on the starting position.

For example, "continent" and "hemispheres" are a group of aggressive unequal molecules on his side, while a group of hippies who love peace chopping the continent and enjoying the path to victory. With the risk of fighting with. And you will worship the dust on the hippie continent. Conversely, your fate may be the opposite.

The fractal has a lot of risk of a terrible "isolated start" with no trade partners at all.

In the "large and small", huge continents such as Pangea and small islands are gathered. If you start from one island, you can't get a huge luxury resource, but there are a lot of foods that can be exchanged for these luxury goods. The island country still has a big problem with the hammer, and it is highly likely that most of the production of its own country must rely on whip.

Pangea can have the most advantageous start, but you have to fight to survive.

Terra is very similar to Pangea, but has the opportunity to colonize in its own way.

Archipelago performs some logistics work for you, but as AI is facing the same task, the superiority is still on the human player.

Joined on October 21, 2005. Notice 2. If you are a militar y-oriented, Pangea will look very easy.

It depends on a simple definition. Continental maps do not "difficult" war acts. It just gets long. In fact, I discuss which is worse every day with myself;

-If you play with Pangea, you can fight with anyone.

-When playing on the continent, if you conquer your continent, you will literally be invincible.

Unless the conquered continent is inferior to the enemy, playing on the continent is usually regarded as pain. However, even in this case, I am convinced of the two facts with 90 % of the chance;

-Safe invasion.

-The they cannot invade me safely.

So no matter what victory I claim, the game will be much lighter.

Of course, this depends on the "political situation" of each continent. However, considering that I actually play on a specific continent map, I immediately hold my continent control. The ultimate goal of my game is conquest. In fact, neighboring countries will fall immediately in any case.

In general, I want to say that I don't think the continental battle is difficult to win the conquest. It's just boring. If it is the same as dissatisfaction and that it may take a little longer (due to boring), it is of course difficult. But in my opinion, I don't think it's actually difficult.

At present, I think that the basically difficult script is on a crowded map surrounded by various enemies. These are likely to be continents, Pangea, Mainland's large and small, flat maps (large plains, mountains, etc.). In principle, the number of enemies is higher than the value of the map. If you are stuck in the smallest place with a large number of people, and if you are besiege d-During this time, everything will be difficult.

And ultimately, as already expressed in some posts, the final result is substantially there is no Diphinses. Everything depends on the player, and it depends on how the player handles the map. In fact, everything you can arrange is to think, experience, and listen to it, and in fact certain ammunition is very complicated/ light. And blame yourself.

Notice associated with October 4, 2007 136

At the maximum level, the difficulty of the current card volume with the current normal number of players is considered to be the most complicated among all types of cards. She is recklessly unbalanced as a person, and it would be lucky if you could win 20%of the game for you. This occurs due to the fact that AI on anotherland has the ability to go around you very quickly according to technology, and you cannot do anything with data, and the enemy AI. Due to the fact that the normal number and the normal volume map, you do not have enough earth to avoid the damaged war.

The most difficult card with the introduction of ordinary cards is the archipelago and large and small, but they are very unbalanced/ easy for people, and they do not mean special difficulty.

The most ordinary game is a similar card for everyone and is quite small.

The huge map varies from the average difficulty to a fairly difficult difficulty depending on the starting position of AI. If their starting position interacts with a friend with a different general trade, you will receive the same technical difficulty, in fact, on a regular map, the mainland Volume of. Other texts are that AI can eat you in development, and you can't do anything with data.

Since Moscow of each enemy is surrounded by the richest group of resources on the map, the number of opponents has been easier to prepare the game and captures a certain number of the enemy capital. If you are immediately more productive than your personal Moscow city, you will receive a certain number of Supercruces in your CYV.

I n-game options are still unbalanced, simplifying games for people (for example, connecting Hectic Barbs). People adapt to the changes they have placed (in the case of an angry barb, they make beautiful walls or make large amounts of wounded soldiers), but II does not correct the configuration. The failure is no longer a non-wise game for that person.

CIV is a creation (regardless of the victory you want), as a result, if you want to play a small game, arrange the appropriate one:

1) Confirm desperate barb, but make sure that a beautiful wall is actually established. Now, all barbs may start attacking AI and can be destroyed if there are several civilizations.

2) Confirm the map with a small MANKHONKA, but at the start of the game, confirm that more enemy capital is actually being captured (several warriors rush to the nearby enemy AI, and the forest in the middle. Because they go outside the enemy's main city on the hill tiles, they detour the tw o-side metropolis, but take this from the first settlers and get time for equipment. Make it possible, then unite with brass/ horses to rush/ attack with tanks and axes to occupy the enemy's Honjo).

The most common victory is control. If you reach the critical production, the victory is already in the bag, but for you, it is not very interesting because there is still a cuter segment to finish the game.

The second simplest is cultural, with the maximum professionalism in the choice of technical roads and the tremendous construction, and a very powerful army to hold the brutal AI.

Third exclusiv e-norma l-diplomacy, for example, you need to have a powerful technical and financial status to acquire an enemy AI or reach that place, and also attack you You need to own a powerful army to get rid of it, and you need a good civilization for you. The religious control of AP can help and control the United Nations in the latter half of the game.

For example, it is thought that the most difficult victory in the galaxy race requires a combination of culture, diplomacy and military. In the first half of the game, you can play with 50 % control, and in the second half, you can simplify your tasks. All the supplementary lands and resources acquired in the House Phase are all made into production, so the victory in the galaxy race is simplified.
