T is often said that “‘a good actor should be able to play any part.” This is a truism that cannot be disputed; but it must not be taken in its literal sense. In the old stock days many actors were known to play every kind of part with a certain amount of distinction; but it must be presumed that they only gave what is called ‘‘an actor's performance”, which is a vastly different thing from what one would expect from an actor of repute in a given part, in what is termed ‘“‘his own i. e., a type of part he has created for himself—or in the case of revivais— an original reading in which his personality, or his personal outlook on things, is line’, given full play. looked the part’ being selected, looked it. our profession lies te actor should be able to play anything, really can play anything; Plications for parts which managers either physically or histrionically. I am not altogether a believer in ‘“‘types’® as types. : limit they are a profound managerial error, for I have known men who “absolutely whom it was afterwards found were like it,’’ to use familiar expressions, for they could not act the part, altho they This method of selection may be useful on the screen, but is a very different thing when applied to the actual performance of a play. may be everything that is needed, because makeup has its limitations there; but in the play the voice, delivery, deportment, combined with the expression and undrstanding of the actor in his part, have to be taken into consideration if the illusion is to be perfect; that is the great test of the actor's efficiency. I know a man, in appearance typical of Hamlet, light, airy and graceful, perhaps, but utterly unsuited to Hamlet. in the fact that actors as a body misread the slogan that ‘‘an and in their imagination decide hence the number of fruitless letters to managers in apthemselves know the applicants Managers offset this by going to the other extreme, ti cecording to their own ideas and notions, a situation which is really Sneced een anes to a cortaia extent by the impossibility, in many instances, of their being able to see actors whom they do not know or with whose work they are unfamiliar, and the reluctance of some actors to read parts on approval, I think when going the “not a bit On the screen appearance who has the manner of Osric, The trouble in that they eannot play, teed, $20 each.
