(JOHN D. BARRY, IN THE MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE)
“There's a great difference between people on the stage and people in society,” a populap English actress once remarked in a newspaper interview Actors are taught to give their emotions expression.”’ That actors ought to be able to express a wide range of emotion is unquestionably This faculty is part of their stock in trade. bred women and men they must, obviously, show their capacity for being expressive by
There is so much repression among actors just now that some critics think acting is going out, or, as they say, there isn’t acting on the stage anymore. To play the part of a repressed character may require in the player very exceptional refinement and subtlety. for instance, a noisy, slangy person, whose speech shows uncouth quallities, being called upon to play a highly cultivated character.
Some years ago I went to see a very clever actress in the leading part of a play On the whole she played it very well, Tho she had been imperfectly trained, she nevertheless managed to suggest many of the finer qualities in the character developed by a lifetime of advantage. In her desire to be natural she was too colloquial and familiar, habit of beginning many of her long emotional speeches with the sound of ‘‘Aw!’® repeated use of ‘“‘Aw!’’ tho it greatly damaged the impersonation, was apparently not At any rate, by the time I saw the performance, in the
why the impersonation failed to carry absolute conviction and helped to make the play Little effects of that kind, tho they might not be singled out by playgoers for criticism, could nevertheless damage the general impression.
Every one of us when we speak sings a song. Our very covering ups are, to the expert ear, the stage is the one that can not merely speak the lines of the part correctly, but can also sing the song that goes with the part, that is essentially its essence. can speak correctly without being able to sing the song at all.
They make an effect of incongruity. get off the key and go back. When there is a perfect blending of right speaking and right singing there is a perfect performance.
In nearly every impersonation, however, something unrelated to the character comes Dramatists know only too well. is one of the reasons why managers nowadays are so keen They want players that, The speaking and singing they think can be drilled in. where both actor and stage manager are very imaginative and intelligent it can be. on the other hand,
