Awesome-Taro What does P.T.O. mean? I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure that one out. P.T.O means Please Turn Over. As Firmin and Andre are reading the note that the Phantom has sent on the back of the paper they would then sing "no one likes a debtor so it's better that my orders are obeyed" POTO stands for Phantom of the Opera

Quote: Q: What is the gray moments in the movie and who are the people in them? A: The scenes in black and white are supposed to represent the present, so most of the story is basically a flashback. The old dude who buys the music box is Raoul. There are some debates over who the old woman is at the auction. No one can seem to conclude whether it was Madame Giry or Meg Giry despite the part obviously being played by the same woman who plays Madame Giry. Everyone else is just some random person that we never get to know the names of. I believe that she must be Mme. Giry and not Meg. The logic behind this is that Meg would be either called Madamoiselle Giry or Madame whatever-her-husband's-last-name-is, Mlle being Miss and Mme being Mrs. Therefore, the fact that the auctioneer called her Mme. Giry means that she can not be Meg.

From the original novel, who exactly is the rat catcher? I've read the book several times, but I still can't figure it out.
From what I have gathered, he's just a regular guy with a flaming head, who catches rats. So... any elaboration would be much loved.

The rat catcher really has no signifigant use except for when Raoul and the Persian see the "flaming head". That was just the lantern/torch he uses to drive the rats away.

I was always so confused about it, thanks for clearing that up for me. surprised

It takes a few re-readings to clear it up, so I know the feeling.

That rule is a fairly modern "invention". The French of the 1800's, no matter what the age, would call an unmarried woman Mademoiselle. If she was married, she would not still have the surname Giry.

Yes, but, Uta, at the end of Leroux, he said "And worthy Mme. Giry(who, I am sorry to say, is no more)..." Would mean that she had to be Meg.
And a question: If Erik was in his 50's, how old was Daroga?

`~[Christine--Daae]~` Yes, but, Uta, at the end of Leroux, he said "And worthy Mme. Giry(who, I am sorry to say, is no more)..." Would mean that she had to be Meg. And a question: If Erik was in his 50's, how old was Daroga? No, because he mentions Meg as a Baroness. Mme Giry is referring to her mother.

Curse me for stuffing my book under some stuff in my locker and forgetting about it! (and nobody answered my question!)

XP Uhm, I think the Daroga would be about the same age as Erik, or maybe in his 40's. He had to be in his middle age years. Anything older and he wouldn't have been able to survive that torture chamber.
