The ST. James Gazette reminds the
actor that he loses q chief source of strength
when he is not a good listener on the stage,
and asserts that it is only an actor, In
genuine sense of the word, who csn. by
listening, suggest alertness and that mental
engagement in the business of the scene
which forms the foundation of all stage
verisimilitude. The listener NAV support
the scene as really, If not as promptly, as
the "leading" man. at can scarcely be
disputed that actors have hitherto
evinced marked prediction
for concerning themselves solely
with the special characteristics of their
own parts and the idea that an actor with
a small speaking part may yet find great
artistic opportunity as listener, is not alb
solutely novel, may nevertheless be COM
mended to the majority OF young dramatic
aspirants. In Much Ado about Nothing
Shakespeare puts into Benedick's mouth
about hundred and iorty speeches. but he
gives him no fewer than three hundred and
fifty occasions for being interested in the
speeches OF other people"
