130 Actorviews said : ‘Why risk the big part on a fellow who’s more than likely to do it irreparable injury?’ And this is no damn mock modesty on my part, no bum humility, see? I believed in the play beyond any manuscript I’d ever read. . . . And I don’t know what I’m doing in the part, except believing it, every damn word. It’s not unlikely that if I got another part of the same importance, on the strength of this, I’d fall flat. Anyway, acting’s been a damn fine adventure.” “How about part number seven?” “Who knows? I’m under no contract. Nobody had to ‘feature’ me; Hopkins just did it without being asked or asking. But who remembers whether you’re ‘featured’? I can forget it myself. And I’ll bet after ‘The Ape’ is over I recede into the ranks of among those present. But, hell, if you’re damn fool enough to want to be an artist, you can paint miniatures !” “You expect ?” “I expect,” said Louis Wolheim, with an ironic grin, “absolutely nothing; and that’s about what I’ll get. Whatthehell ! that’ll be an adventure, too.”
