Dictionary of Phrase and Fable—P

Pro.'s

Professionals- that is, actors by profession.

A big crowd slowly gathers,
And stretches across the street;
The pit door opens sharply,
And I hear the trampling feet;
And the quiet pro.'s pass onward
To the stage-door up the court.

Sims: Ballads of Babylon; Forgotten, etc.
