W. A, DARLINGTON'S
The Actor and his Audience
What is the secret of the great actor's power over his audience ? What is that quality which enables him so to wring his hearers' hearts that he becomes a legend for all time ? And to what extent is the actor's success dependent upon the response of that audience ?
W. A. Darlington, Daily Telegraph drama critic, in trying to find the answer to these questions, brings before us six great tragedians: Burbage, Betterton, Garrick, Siddons, Kean, Irving. The author examines each great figure in turn, drawing upon the impressions of contemporary eye-witnesses and critics. The result is a stimulating and — in the words of John Gielgud — 'an admirable' book.
