An actor is born. not made. He may
be a rough diamond, and need no end of
polishing; but the stone must be pure,
or he will never shine in the diadem OF
art
He must have the ability to act just
as the painter. the sculptor, or even the
shoemaker or bricklayer, must be pos
sessed of the ability TO prosecute his
art or trade This in every instance is
a God given talent; but the man who
never finds his peculiar bent Will always
be a round peg in a square hole.
Many bad actor might have been
good bricklayer; and l have worn shoes
that were made by possible actors-they
surely were not made by good shoe
makers.
Now how is this rara avis, great
actor, found? In the first place, he
must possess patience, perseverance,
and q genius for hard work. These are
essentials. The man Of ability will re-
spond quickly to suggestion and criti-
cism; he will have a sweet and sympa-
thetic nature: he will be full of faith in
his instructor and faith in himself He
will be known by his simplicity and mod
esty The mediocre are always pompous,
headstrong, and unwilling TO be guided
or restrained. Suggestions. criticisms?
These are but insults to his art
His art, forsooth, which consists in
heroically bombarding great parts in an
impossible manner. when he should be
satisfied with small parts done well

reers have achieved a certain distinc-
tion, but instead of profiting by this

that he wished by his contribution to
help his Christian neighbor, and the

the beneficiaries listen to his arguments
in favor OF atheism. The bestowal as
well as the acceptance of these gifts
shows a laudable liberality.

Hudson Maxim talked about high explosives last
night at the dinner of the British Schools and Uni

The part that high explosives will play in future

OUTLOOK As TO FUTURE TAX RATE
CONTROLLER THINKS IT WILL BE Low
Erred STEADILY IN NEXT
THREE YEARS.

Controller circuit said yesterday that he saw
no rea son why the city tax rate should not be
steadily lowered in the next three years.
The State tax is Sc. 100000 less this year than
last" added Mr.. Grout. and next year it will be
81, 900 600 less. Our Budget this year is about
sos 600 coo and this amount meets all the ne
cessities. The large reduction in the State tax
ought 10 Offset the increase in the Budget in
the next year or two, that next year and the
year after the tax rate should be materially
lowered. Another thing that ought to contribute
TO making it easier for city taxpayers to sus-
tain their respective burdens is the Increased
valuations that will follow from the great pub
lie improvement schemes now being developed.
I refer to the two bridges under construction.
the rapid transit tunnel and the Atlantic-aVe.
Improvement. If municipal history is TO repeat
itself these great projects ought TO increase the
assessed valuation Of property within city linz
its so that the tax burden can be borne with
greater ease with each successive year
Thomas L. Feitner, former president Of the
Tax Board, doubts the ability Of the new ad-
ministration TO lower the tax rate the coming
year.
u don't believe the tax rate will be lowered"
said Mr.. Feitner, and I don't believe the report
that the increase in the assessed valuation the
coming year viii amount to S120,O00,OO0 as re-
ported. That seems TO me TO be too large an
Increase to be normal"
