lta Importance In the Art Of Acting or
the STAGE.

the Stage.
The reason why listening plays a
part Of such paramount value on the
stage is that II an actor is not deeply
interested in what is going on in the
mimic world In which he has been cast
he cannot look for any real interest Oh
the part of his audience, and the only
way In which he can denote that inter.
est is by the intensity with which he
listens to everything that has any bear
Ing whatever on his life and actions
and the skill with which he expresses
the feelings bred Of what he hears.
Listening is an art that is not prop
erly taught in the schools In which
modern actors are trained, for while
voice culture has the place of high
honor that it deserves in the curricu-
lum Of every academy on Broadway,
II you ask either teacher or pupil about
the stills more important business of
listening the chances are that you will
receive no reply save wondering

One young woman, indeed, told me
that she had been studying the art of

would not understand what she was

to listen with a natural interest and
