Salvini, who has returned to this country for
another farewell tour, thinks that the stage is
degenerating and gives ali interesting explana-
ton. He says that the trouble lies in the social
aspirations of the modern actors In former
times the actor was not figure in fashionable
society and devoted himself wholly to his art,
but nowadays he wishes ito shine in society
as well as on the stage; his allegiance is divided,
and no man can serve two masters" As a con-
sequence, Salvini says, "the stage is almost
bare of great figures, and cannot discover any
men of much promise" He concludes, there
fore, that "the old-time social ostracism of the
actor had its compensations."
PROFESSIONALLY there Is much truth in this
aspect of the case, and it has a wider applica-
ton than Salvini gives to 1t. 1t is no less true
of all the walks of intellectual life than of the
arduous life of the actor that, a rule, a fash
ionable career Is incompatible with professional
success. Fashion is not liberal in its gifts. 1t
exacts an eye for an eye. One may not bask
in its delights without contributing in return
to its amusement. To the scientist, the mer-
chant, the professional man, no less than to the
actor, fashionable society is dangerous. In most
cases, to mingle in its pleasures and at the same
time to continue in earnest work Is to burn the
candle at both ends.
