text_original: It now appeared that he had summoned to our conference several of his associates  the subordinates, merely, of his ventures  his manager of finance (with a sharp eye for a business flaw), his costumer and designer, and another person who is his reader and adviser and, in emergency, fills and mends any sudden gap that shows itself. My notion of theatrical managers has been that they are a cold and distant race  the more sullen cousin of an editor.
