103 a matinée idol
любимец публики, актёр, пользующийся большой популярностью у женщинFather came from Montreal. He wore a long and curly chestnut mane like that of a fin de siécle matinèe idol and a most romantic mustache. (J. Conroy, ‘The Disinherited’, part I, ch. III) — У отца, приехавшего из Монреаля, были длинные вьющиеся каштановые волосы, как у популярного актера конца прошлого века, и весьма романтические усы.
‘Hanged if Hampton didn't go on and give a turn, sang and danced, and by George! he brought the house down!’ ‘He sounds more like matinèe idol than a doctor,’ she said smiling. (A. J. Cronin, ‘The Citadel’, book I, ch. 9) — - И что же вы думаете, Хемптон отправился туда, выступил на сцене - пел и плясал - и, клянусь святым Георгием, покорил весь зал! Ему, очевидно, больше подходит роль любимца публики, чем роль врача, - заметила с улыбкой Кристин.
Mary: "...He was a great matinè idol then, you know. Women used to wait at the stage door just to see him come out." (E. O'Neill, ‘Long Day's Journey into Night’, act 9) — Мэри: "...В то время Тайрон имел большой успех, особенно у женщин. Поклонницы ждали у выхода из театра, чтобы хоть одним глазком взглянуть на него."
