A.E. Matthews: T. H. Skeates

Quotes 

• Ann Williams : Tommy's as mad as a hatter; but, he's got something, Mr. Skeates. Really he has. You ought to read his articles.

  T. H. Skeates : I don't even read my own articles, let alone, Mr. Stapleton's.

• T. H. Skeates : Certainly, Mr. Davey was very nicely blacked. He will forgive me, or perhaps he will not, if I mention that for an actor to imagine that Othello's passion is only skin deep is as though Cyrano de Bergerac couldn't see further than the end of his nose.

• T. H. Skeates : Mr. Edmund Davey's Othello was, apart from his black make-up, wan and colorless. His love was without passion. His jealousy without rage.

• Ann Williams : There's a lady on the telephone for you. She won't give her name.

  T. H. Skeates : I never converse with nameless ladies!

• T. H. Skeates : Every woman unconsciously loves every man on earth, though, she may not know him personally. Consequently, when she meets him, that love functions automatically.
