There is no other profession in which the intangible sense of intuition
is so necessary as in that of acting, for it is principally through that sense
that we may gauge the Interpretation of our allotted parts. Year after
year the player learns to feel his way into the light of approval, and this
process often results in the development of intuition to an almost abnor-
NAL degree.

that pulse; to govern and he governed by it; and, above all, to know
whether it indicates exhilaration or depression, and to act according to
those indications.

The world pleases to call me a successful comedian and my work in
comedy is generally commended by my critics, yet there is never a time
that l come on the stage that l do not experience a certain degree of nerv-

My first impulse is to reach out beyond my part to discover the composite

quicken the circulation of enjoyment in its veins.

A clandestine courtship or secret
marriage must be accomplished by de-
ceit, subterfuge and untruth. And
these things do not lay the foundation
of happiness. No circumstances or
conditions can possibly exist to justify
a secret engag lent or marriage.
True love creates courage. And a
man and woman who really care for
