To Succeed on the Stage.

John Mccullough insists on familiar.
ity with routine, and an hahitual un-
consciousness that leaves the intelli.
gence perfectly tree. But the two
qualities which he regards as impera.
lively essential to success are com.
prised in the terms heart and untirine
industry.
Joe Jefferson says that the successful
actor must be gifted with "sensibility,
imagination, and personal magnetism.
The student should begin at the found
alton to learn. He thinks it mistake
to regard the lower positions degrad.
ing. Some actors he says, are inspira.
tional and inventive, while others must
have everything clearly mapped out,
and thorough plan of action arranged
before they begin.
Lawrence Barrett does not think that
physical size has anything to do with
success. He says there have been large
generals and small generals. Salvini
aud Booth illustrate the fact in relation
to tragedians. In his opinion, it would
be best ii young man could start in o
school of actors, so that he might have
none but models to guide him. Every
actor is an imltator of some time in his
youth. An actor can be great in only 0
few PARTS.
William Warren SAYS the chances for
getting on are greater than when he
was boy. He saws of the comedian
that lie should have real, genuine APP.
probation of the humorous and gro.
tesque in life. and the magnetic power
to make others feel as he feels. He
need not, by any means, be what is
known as Sunny man. He does not
hold to the theory that any particular
size of body is essential to success as Q
comedian. John Reeve and Burton
were fat men decidedly; Charles Mat.
thews, on the other hand, was thin.
Modieska believes iii vocation" She
thinks the best school for acting is the
stage itself, when one begins by playing
small parts. She believes more in in.
SEPARATION, at the last, than technique
or art, important elements as the latter
are.
Maggie Mitchell saws the stage is the
only school, and Is is the minimum age
for going before the footlights; and
she halls the change in favor of simple
and judic:ous female costuming on the
stage.
