Show PRESENCE OF MIND. There are symptoms of panic in the theater. A big man in the front row arises. "Sit down!" he roars. "There is no danger! Sit down!" The stampeding audience stops, turns, and faces him. "Sit down!" he orders. The people obediently sit down. "I will go to the entrance and show you there is no danger whatever," the big man says. He strolls along the aisle, reaches the exit, and rushes out. "That's what I call presence of mind," he tells himself. "I never could have got out of there If I hadn't stopped that panic." Not Necessarily So. "So Jones has become an actor." "Has he?" "You said so." "No. I didn't. I Bald he had gone on the stage." |
