I found a few sources:

“[J.M. Barrie, on opening night] instructed the members of the orchestra to put down their instruments and clap when Peter appealed for help to save Tinker Bell's life and cried out, 'If you believe in fairies, clap your hands.' However, there had been no need for these instructions, for the audience clapped thunderously, causing Nina Boucicault, the actress playing Peter, to burst into tears."

This is an excerpt from Jack Zipes’ introduction essay in the 2004 edition of Peter Pan: Peter and Wendy and Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens Paperback by J. M. Barrie. Penguin Classics. ISBN 9780142437933

Note: I don’t actually have access to a copy of this book, so I don’t know if Jack Zipes cites a source for this information. I found this excerpt quoted in the article “On this day: Peter Pan” by Gerelyn Hollingsworth for the National Catholic Reporter.

I also found this interview with Nina Boucicault:

But the first night brought us our reward. The gasp of surprise that greeted me as I flew in through the window and the enthusiasm at the end of the first act were well worth all the hard work. The audience were splendid; I don’t think they missed a single point. I remember that I had been rather anxious about the scene where Peter appeals to the audience to clap if they believe in fairies. “Suppose they don’t clap?” I had asked. “What do I do then?” But clap! I think everyone in the house believed in fairies. And I am sure the play took them by surprise.

The AO3 Tag of the Day is: Renaissance fanart

ethermaster-blog

I’m gonna let you in on a secret.

That aint renaissance fanart

ao3tagoftheday

You know what, assholes? I run this blog for y'all every day. I see things you cannot begin to imagine. I have to read people’s Robespierre smut and their questions about how various monsters would fuck them. I am so jaded that, when someone submits a tag mentioning some random vaguely liquid substance without context, I just assume it’s being used as lube. Nutella? Lube. Crazy glue? Lube. Divine fucking ichor? Fucking lube! I do this for you, y'all. I shield you from this shit. I stand athwart the tides of horror, hold my hands up, and yell “STOP” in the hopes that it will keep the waters from reaching you.

So you know what, fuckheads!? If I want to maintain the one tiny scrap of innocence I have left, I will. The official policy of AO3TagoftheDay is now that turtles, teenage, mutant, ninja, or otherwise, do not fuck. It never happens. They don’t fuck. They don’t fuck each other. They don’t fuck humans. They don’t fuck in real life and they don’t fuck in fiction. This tag is about two gay Renaissance painters holding each other close and kissing chastely under the Sistine chapel ceiling.

There. Glad we got that sorted out. Please return to your regularly scheduled programming.

I SAW THEM ONCE AT OUR THEATRE. THEY CAME TO SEE ‘INTO THE WOODS’.

What is your favorite animal tidbit about the denizens of Lake Baikal?

actually my favorite thing about Baikal is the lake itself!

viewed from above, it looks like nothing particularly special. sure, it’s a big lake, but it doesn’t have the surface area of the Great Lakes or the Caspian Sea, right?

WRONG!

BOOM.

see, Lake Baikal really isn’t a lake at all, it’s a deep rent in the earth’s crust called a Rift Valley that just happened to get water in it. and the Baikal rift is one of the deepest and narrowest on earth, making this deceptively placid lake slightly over a MILE deep! that’s bonkers nutso.

like, you think the OCEAN is bad, just imagine being in a little fishing boat on this thing without realizing just how far away the bottom is....

Holy fucking shit

That bitch has a quarter of the fresh water in the entire world?!

I notice you never answered the crucial first question, OP. What lives in it? What lives down in that lake?

And a note to confederates: these monuments weren’t kept because this was “history”. These monuments celebrated horrible things and we BLEW THEM UP.
