Edward II. SOthern is being quoted as
the father of some aphorisms in dramatic
art:
MY father used tlways to say 10 me:
Never fail to ask the stage manager
why?' That is a good rule. Never do any
thing until you know the reason why"
The successful actor must devote his
life to technique"
"A triumph Of technique is that il is so
perfect as to he unObservable. When, by
hard work, he achieves perfection, it
must look like mere instinct"
Il carried this from Stevenson over to
the theater and read it to my company:
In your own act bow your head over
technique.
Action does not mean merely physical
action. It is a clash of te.uperaments,
whether expressed in blows. or words. or
int0natiOn.'
''The one-part man is sure to become
hammered. while the repertoire man is on
the alert"
I cannot see why there is any subject
which cannot be so treated dramatically
that it viii lose its offensiveRess. It can
be true to life and yet delicate"
"The actor will deserve well of his pub
lie when he deserves well of his art He
deserves well Of his art when he has
seriously tried to master technique"
He win win half the battle of technique
when he depends least upon gesture. And
he will win it all when he selects his plays
with a conscience and interprets them
with a SOUL
