P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 96
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
While I was in New Orleans I made the acquaintance of that genial man, Tyrone Power, who was just concluding an engagement at the St. Charles Theatre. In bidding me farewell, he wished me every success and hoped we should meet again. Alas, poor Power! All the world knows how he set sail from our shores, and he and his ship were never seen again. Fanny Ellsler was also in New Orleans, and when I saw seats in the dress circle sold at an average of four dollars and one-half, I gave her agent, Chevalier Henry Wyckoff, great credit for exciting public enthusiasm to the highest pitch and I thought the prices enormous. I did not dream then that, within twelve years, I should be selling tickets in the same city for full five times that sum.

白话
巴纳姆在新奥尔良认识了刚结束演出的泰隆·鲍尔，两人道别时鲍尔祝他成功，希望后会有期。结果鲍尔后来坐船出海，人和船再也没回来。当时范妮·埃尔斯勒也在新奥尔良演出，巴纳姆看到正厅座位平均卖到四块半，觉得她经纪人把观众热情炒到极点，票价高得离谱。他当时想都不敢想，十二年后自己会在同一个城市把票价卖到五倍。这说明：别轻易给市场设上限，今天觉得疯狂的价格，明天可能只是常态。
上下文
巴纳姆在自传中回忆1841年在新奥尔良的见闻，包括与演员泰隆·鲍尔的最后一面和范妮·埃尔斯勒的高票价演出。
