They Were Not So Slow in the Good Old Days
{Continued from page 56)
portray human passions in terms of violence.
An actor who "rants" can never be a good actor; he could have been a good actor no more in Booth's time than in Forrest's. The mistake often made lies in the false respect accorded an oldtime actor who comes down to our own day surrounded with the traditions that clustered about some famous tragedian. Because he once upon a time acted in a company of a great artist, it is erroneously assumed that he reflects correctly the style of his contemporary, when in truth he libels him by his own clumsy methods. The rule is, however, that few .actors have learnt their profession so well as those who enjoyed the association of great artists of their time, and among the vanishing few there are still some on our present-day stage who acted with Booth and Davenport, and whose places it would be hard to fill when it shall be their time to vanish, too.
Acting, after all, is not an art unless it is associated with heaven-born genius. A Forrest, a Booth, a Salvini is born but once in a generation. To have seen Janauschek in the sleep-walking scene of "Macbeth" is to carry a memory thru life that never fades, to have a remembrance vivid, thrilling and imperishable.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
{Continued from page 76)
Millicent clutched the door lintel. Thru the whirling of the world she saw her lover's face looking up from that huddled, crushed, beaten form, the face of Howard Jekyll, white unto death, but with the light of supreme victory in his eyes. "I have killed him !" cried the doctor, in a tone that rang clarion-like a moment, then sank to a whisper. "I could not have done it but for my love — it made me strong, it is stronger than evil "
He fell back upon the floor at her feet, arms outstretched. He had overcome his evil self at last, but it had been a struggle to the death. Once again his lips moved. "Millicent — love — forgive "
He was dead, but on the upturned face was the old look of gentleness and tenderness and love that had always made those who looked at Dr. Jekyll think of something they had seen somewhere before— perhaps in some ancient painting of the Man who had struggled with the evil of the world to save others, tho Himself He could not save.
Birds of a feather flock together — on an Easter bonnet.
Be sure ahead, then go right — awav.
Dont go among doers if you dont want to be did.
