In it , Alexander played a middle-class English tourist with an uncanny resemblance to the embattled King of Ruritania ; just put the middle-class Englishman in the right clothes , and he can play the part of a King to perfection . Within a short walk or a carriage ride , a young man could leave his bachelor apartment in the Albany ( where Jack Worthing resides , under the name " Ernest , " in The Importance of Being Earnest ) , shop , pay an " at-home " call in Mayfair or Belgravia , dine at his club , take in a play at one of a dozen theatres , or see a ballet at the Empire . And a compromise arrangement that had been reached - - to let the open solicitations continue , but to screen off the promenade from the auditorium with a low barrier - - did not last long : on the first night after the barrier was installed , it was torn down in protest by a gang of young , fashionable , gentlemen-about-town , led by the young Winston Churchill . But , in the more expensive parts of the house , the auditorium was by no means as segregated as members of " society " might wish . This was certainly true of the theatre auditorium . There , in the infamous " promenade " - - a wide horseshoe-shaped bar and lobby space behind the first tier of gallery seats , with an open view of the auditorium and the stage - - high-priced prostitutes and elegantly-dressed gentlemen would make their assignations . The social ambiguities present on the stage andd in the auditorium of the St. James 's Theatre were present in the entertainment industry as a whole . Because the pool of people available to hire in these institutions is extremely non-diverse , free graduate education would help diversify the profession . Our fall schedule is designed to give students a taste of modern London while at the same time allowing them to encounter the living history that is England .
