OP I just got a surprise. When I searched for "matinee" I got nothing. I entered ARTFL Webster 1913, and entered matinee
again. No such word. So I entered matin, then went to that
page, and there found "matinée", with defintion.
"The greatest treat an actor can have is to witness the pitiful performance with which all other actors desecrate the stage. In order to give himself this pleausre he will often forsake the sunniest Broadway corner between Thirty-fourth and Forty-fourth to attend a matineeoffering by his less gifted brothers."
I wonder how much the word is used nowadays.
