"You were there? I didn't know you ever—I didn't know you cared for the theater. Oh, I say, Major Talbot," he exclaimed frankly, "don't you be offended. I admit I did get a lot of pointers from you that helped out wonderfully in the part. But it's a type, you know—not individual. The way the audience -------------------caught on -------------------shows that. Half the patrons of that theater are Southerners. They recognized it."

Thank you!

realized what was going on, got the point

The audience "got" what they were presenting, they understood and recognized what the performers were trying to do. The audience realized what was going on and got the point of it (thus enjoyed it more).

So it's all about understanding on a deeper level, recognizing what the performers are trying to portray.
