Talks for Beginners

At the graduating exercises OF the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts
in New York, which were made preten-
tious by the presence of a number OIL
stage celebrities, Forbes Robertson
delivered an address which is filled
with good advice, not only for the be-
ginner, but as well for the more ad-
vanced actor. In the course of his
speech he said:
1.-THE question arises sometimes in the
mind of an actor as he approaches
part if he should caricature 1t or play
it truthfully, honestly as the part Is.
There are a great many cases where
caricatures have proven great sue
cesses; but it seems to me that we must
attack a part from truthful state,
natural state and not caricature
There is one thing 1 want you all to
understand, and that is the dignity Of
your calling. When we come into
theater, it is to us a temple, and it Is
due to ourselves to act quietly and
with respect to ourselves and to 9TH
ers, so that we may be looked on by
everybody with respect. If the oppor-
tunity comes in the classic drama, no
matter how small the part, grasp that
part, hold on to it, and work for 1t,
work hard for it. And by the classic
drama, of course, 1 mean Shakespeare
In treating Shakespeare do not be led
away from the thought that he can
not be treated realistically. He should
be handled with absolute truth and H.
deity to human nature, and human
nature is just the same now as it was
in the time of Shakespeare. Some may
tell you that you cannot act Shakes
peare with the fidelity of that period,
that you must be modern. IL you try
1t your progress will be nil, you will
end a failure. In attacking any part
of Shakespeare dismiss from your mind
that feverish anxiety, that morbid de-
sire, for new business. Business, when
all is said and done, doesn't amount to
a row of beans. Don't worry about
business. Does 1t matter If Juliet pulls
down the curtain thus? No, 1t is the
personality-the method the fidelity
and sincerity in which you speak the
lines.
II remember rehearsing a classical
play in London and we had engaged a
very distinguished actor. He felt when
he had these beautiful lines to say that
he must wave his arms and stride and
do this and that. A friend of mine, a
Gcotchman, who was watching the re-
hearsal, asked me: Now tell me, Mr.
Robertson. is he a very distinguished
actor?' Yes Well, and does he have
to do all that?' / answered that he
felt he should. 'Well!' he answered,
Dear me. II / was caught doing that
down in Picadilly l would be arrested
by the police. 1t seemed to me to be
very much to the point and summed
up the whole matter In a nutshell. If
you have a right view, simple view.
a sincere view OF your calling, you
must begin by pleasing yourself. If
you don't please yourself you viii never
please the public. One point / would
like to emphasize: Consult your con-

science, honor it and act according to
are good, bad or Indifferent in scene
or play-and the people you have to
consider in your own conscience are
the members of your calling. You
have not to consider what the general
public will like-if you do you will be-
come conventional. If you break every
law of Hamlets instruction to the
players you will never become a great
actor or actress. No matter what you
are playing, where you are playing,
or to whom you are acting, always in
terpret your part true to nature, with
sincerity, absolute truth, absolute fider-
sity to human nature"
Manager William A. Brady in his ad-
dress took occasion to call to mind the
hardships of his early days in Cali
fornia, the state where so many stage
celebrities have started up the lad
der. He said:
II was once dramatic student my
self. 1 served my apprenticeship in a
school that was somewhat harder than
the one in which you have served.
Those were the days out in California,
when men like Charles Frohman, David
Belasco, Daniel Frohman and numer-
GUS others l could mention were not
occupying the proud positions they do
today, but were rather striving to make
their mark in the world. In 1885, when
r |
cisco. there was no such thing as a
dramatic school, but there were stock
companies galore strewn throughout
the United States, and they were of
themselves fine dramatic colleges. A
young man or young woman with
dramatic aspirations would start in a
minor capacity in one of these COM
panies, and after having served for a |
time might be called upon to play |
different part every night if necessary, |
and it was case of hustle or quit. No
laggard could succeed and no Ounce
could thrive All the young people then
would be called upon one week to sup
port a tragedian, who would hand
them out five or six of the parts and |
instruct them to be perfect in them
from night to night We had actors
like Booth Barrett Salvini, Rossi, |
Madame Modjeska and others of the
same note come to us for fortnight |
or a months engagement, and what we
didn't think we knew about the drama |
was not worth knowing Salaries were
not so good in those days and some-
times they were very hard to collect
In those days l was known as Manu-
script Biz; this nom de plume or alias
was given to me by the California ac-
tors for the reason that they believed
that l was gifted with nerve enough |
to do anything believe 1 would have
played Hamlet in those days If they
had allowed me-"
An interesting and instructive ad-
dress was also made by William Ord
way Partridge, who said in part:
II have an artists dread of pointing
a moral but would like to speak
word regarding the relation of art to
life. Art, as some one has wisely said.
is not substitute for life. but a key
to it. Dramatic art shows us how
men have lived, and good dramatic art
shows us how men have lived well.
and 1t holds the mirror up to nature.
Great art is the result OF great work,
patient endeavor

platform. War Minister Sakharoff ana
Admiral Zilotti. on behalf OF the Id

who was loudly cheered and presente7
with flowers. After receiving persons
congratulations Of friends the general
looking bronzed and in good health
went through the cheering crowd tu
the reception room. stopping now and
then to shake hands with admirers.
Behind the general came Mrs. Stoes-
Sci, leaning on the arm Of a military
officer. She looked even more bronze,l
than her husband smiled happily at
the warm welcome accorded him. 1t
was remarked that the generals hair
had turned white. When the reception
ceremonies were over General and
Mrs. Stoessel entered an open car
rage and drove through Nevsky pros
pect to the residence Of Lieutenant
General Prince Viasemky a member
Of the imperial council, where they
will stay. Crowds in the streets lust
lily cheered the general. The absenc
Of military and naval officers from the
platform was very noticeable. Only
few military men and no naval Off
GERS excepting Admiral Zilotti were
present. A large force Of police sur
rounded the railroad station, while
the route to Prince viasemsky's res-
idence was patrolled by numerous de-
tacnments Of Cossacks and Iige guards
apparently in expectation Of hostile
demonstration.
Altogether the generals welcome
was by no means in the nature Of a
popular demonstration and lacked gen.
uine enthusiasm. Two months ago all
Russia was singing the praises OF the
defender OF Port Arthur. yet when he
came home comparatively few people
assembled to cheer him.
In the reception room General Bog
danovitch welcomed General Stoessei.
He referred to the internal troubles,
saying that when General Stoessel left
Russia calm prevailed, while now an
internal enemy was endeavoring to un-
dermine the prestige of the state. Re
plying, General Stoessel said he had
heard while at Coastantinople Of the
disorders in Russia. and since then he.
had travelled in south Russia and had
spoken to the people and had noticed
their tranquility and especially their
loyalty to the emperor. He was con
Adent that the people would remain
loyal and that Russia would issue vie
torious from her present crisis.
