Amafeur Actors.

The ordinary amateur actor, generally
| speaking, has more right than any other
| man to say amen to that part Of the general
| confession which makes acknowledgment
| of things done which ought not to have
been done, and of others lett undone which
he ought to have done He is, assuredly,
among the wickedest of people. There are
biographers who attempt lives, but the
| amateur actor murders the dramatic poets
by preference. He is at once mysterious,
assuming, yet modest. The mystery is that
he is not what he seems, and loves any
shape or outward form better than the one
he was born with He has more aliases
than an Old Bailey culprit, and as many
DISCUSSES as clever detective. He is not
what be seems, and is mostly very much
worse than he looks, though he looks, in
deed, for the most part pitiably enough.
His assumption is in his character, or rather
IN his characters.
The amateur actor fuifills the poets asser-
ton that one man in his time plays many
parts; but the man indicated by the poet
plays only the part assigned to him; the
amateur actor would fain play all the best
parts in the piece, and he thinks himself
litter for Hamlet, though he were fittest for
the cook. His modesty consists in this, that
while he is fond enough of hearing his own
voice, and that others should also hear it,
uC CIloWS CuC tOlCc W
be heard above his own. Even when he
initiates nature tolerably. he is something
like those photographs where foot or hand,
or some other part is abominably out of
focus, and offends the sense. Like Incapable
preachers, lie can not stick to his text.
Therefore, he has less affection for the sweet
Swan of Avon than for commoner birds.
In farce, if his memory fails him, he
has joke of his own ready to take the
place of the authors, and the one may be
as good or as bad as the other. II he
has, however, to deal with Shakespeare, and
is not up to the mark the blank verse gra-
vels him. Ii he loses the word, he has not
the wit to supply one as good-sweet Will
liam has taken care of that-and word
dropped out from Shakespeare's blank verse
leaves all the rest of the line, like sweet
bells tangled, out Of tune and harsh. In
one thing, however, the amateur does not
resemble Shakespeare; and it is agreeable
to be like so sublime genius in anything
Look at the amateur actor when he is
dressed" His Tutor cap, and his black
Charles II. wig, with its flowing locks
sweeping against his mutton-chop whskers,
his pourpoint of one reign, his dOublet of no
reign at all, his hose woven in the region
of fancy, his shoes of the period of William
I'LL, and his walk and talk of to-day-all
this is circumstance to prove that such an
amateur actor, like Shakespeare is not for
a season, but for all tlme.-1MeneuDa.
