a NSWERING a question as to
~ whether or not actors get tired of
their parts a we'll known star said
the other day:
Nobody who has not been through
the dreariness of it can possibly under
stand how utterly and hopelessly lOaLh-
some a part becomes TO an actor after
ne has been batting away at it con-
tinuOuSly. or almost continuously for a
year or more I suffer atroCiOusly from
the mere thought of a part that | have
played continuously for a year, or even
for six months. 1 learn To hate the
part, to despise the character he repre-
sents, no matter how lOvable or eS-
sentially noble that character may be-
We hardly believe the real sentiment
Of actors who are devoted 10 their pro
fessiOn is voiced i'm the utterance
quoted. If il were true our stars could
not go on playing the same part month
after month and, in some cases, year
after year. and pleasing the public.
To be successful an actor must enjoy
his part, just as the successful man in
any business OF profession must enjoy
his work. All men get tired, of course,
after they have done the same thing a
great many times. and they rebel at
the prospect of doing that same thing
a great many times more. But after
all. when the part fits snugly, whether
il be played on or off the stage your
successful man would do nothing else
II he could.
Think Of the thousands Of times
Joseph Jefferson has played RIP Van
Winkle:" think Of the number Of per
formances Of Edwin Booth in Ham
let" And there are other stars who
have played one part continuously ior
years. If they were dissatisfied they
managed TO conceal the fact admir-
ably.
