A man called James Langton (человек по имени Джеймс Лэнгтон) was running a

repertory theatre at Middlepool (управлял репертуарным театром в Миддлпуле;

repertory theatre — театр с постоянной труппой и с определенным

репертуаром, часто без собственного здания театра) that was attracting a

good deal of attention (который привлекал достаточно много внимания); and

whether he would see him (и спросил, сможет ли тот принять его; whether —

допускать) any but a few parts (большинство ролей: «никакие, кроме

нескольких ролей»), which was fortunate (что было /большой/ удачей;

fortunate — счастливый, удачливый), for he was a bad actor (так как он был

плохой актер).
