Petrova and Pauline audition for roles as fairies in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Petrova does very badly, but she is engaged since nobody else auditions for her role. Pauline is engaged too. Petrova does not do well at the rehearsals, and is almost sacked. She doesn't like acting but does it for the money. When "A Midsummer Night's Dream" comes off, Pauline wants to audition with Petrova for another play, but Petrova warns her to stop making her go on stage.
