Applause Quote by Jim Dale

“I'd get more applause than some because I was just seventeen. If they didn't clap at the end of my act I would limp off stage and boy would they feel guilty. They would all burst into tremendous applause as they saw this poor cripple kid walking off.” quote by Jim Dale — Download Open image
