Good and Bad Points of Long Runs From
the Actors Standpoint.

Good and BAD Points of Long Runs From
the Actors Standpoint.
Long runs, like most things, have
their good as well as their bad points.
Good, because constant repetition 30
identifies one with the character imper-
sonated that it becomes second nature to
feel and act it. Iteration may in the
end make one mechanical, but at least
it insures certain technique, which,
when inspiration fails. rescues the work
from crudity Joseph jefferson once
told me that in 1.-THE Rivals he had
always gained an effect by pulling off
the fingers Of his gloves separately and
deliberately to accentuate certain words,
but that under inspiration he would
throw technique to the winds and have
the glove off with one jerk. Who that
has ever seen his Bob can forget those
brilliant green gloves and the fun he
got out of them!
On the other hand, the evil effects Of
long runs are indisputable. Prominent
among them is general mental wearl-
ness which often causes one to forget
the most familiar lines and to turn
blankly to the prompter's box or to
some friendly actor for the worda This
happened to me several times, notably
in "The Winters Tale" in London,
where, after playing it 100 nights, had
TO be prompted in several of Hermione's
great speeches. Edwin Booth, during
the long run of Hamlet" at his own
theater, frequently called for the lines
An actor who was in his company told
me that Booth turned to him one night,
and with look of CONSERVATION asked
what he was to say next. His mind for
the mo.nent had become blank. The
actor gave him the word Booth began
the speech, faltered again, was prompt
ed second time, but finding it impos-
dble to continue called out in loud
voice, Ring down the curtain "
Many other examples might be cited
60 show how weary the brain grows aft
w acting the same part six or seven
times weekly for 100 or 900 consecutive
nights, with only tho rest Of Sunday to
distract the mind. Mary Anderson
