Opening night at the Grammaropolis Playhouse, and Vinny had the lead. The script gave him one entrance per scene, and a real leading man knew that HOW you cross a stage tells the audience everything.

In the triumphant finale he down the staircase, his cape over one shoulder, and to the roaring crowd as the curtain behind him.
