THE ART OF ACTING.
What Amateurs Who Would Become
Stars Must Learn.


1t is surprising to discover how very
differently people who have played
parts all their lives deport themselves
before the footlights. l was acquaint-
ed with a lady in London who had
been the wife of a peer of the realm,
who had been ambassadreSs at foreign
courts, who at the time had been a
reigning beauty and who came to me
longing for new experience and i'm
ploring me to give her an opportunity
to appear upon the stage.
In Il weak moment | consented, and,
as l was producing a play, l cast her
for a part which / thought she would
admirably suit-that of a society wo-
man. What that woman did and didn't
do on the stage passes all belief. She
became entangled in her train, she
could neither sit down nor stand up,
she shouted, she could not be persuad-
ed to remain at a respectful distance,
but insisted upon shrieking into the
actors ears, and she committed all the
gaucheries you would expect from an
unframed country wench.
But because everybody lS ttclluS III
private life every one thinks he can
act upon the stage, and there is no pro-
fession that has so many critics. Every
individual in the audience is a critic
and knows all about the art Of acting.
But acting is a gift. 1t cannot be
taught.
You can teach people how to act act
ing, but you cannot teach them to act.
Acting is as much an inspiration as tbs
making of great poetry and great pic
lures. What is commonly called acting
is acting acting-Richard Mansfield in
