The Leading Lady's Tiara

The Municipal Theatre, half an hour before the opening night curtain. The third-act tiara, on loan from a museum and insured for more than the whole tour costs, was waiting in its case on the dressing table of the principal dressing room. When the wardrobe mistress came back with the gown, the case was open and lined with empty velvet. The company has twenty-five minutes.
