1--WE often hear the expression, He
is a versatile actor meaning in the
sense that the actor is capable of play
ing well. different types of characters.
Versatility is best exemplified in the
actors ability to read lines. For in
stance-two actors are playing a scene
and each scene is made up of a series
of uncompleted and then completed
thoughts or more simply expressed
questions and their answers.
mo scene is successful in which the
problem or the sidelight on a problem
is not raised and then answered, or
partially answered, so as to bear upon
the biggest theme of the play. The
pIav as a whole, to find itself, must
take complete form as a unit, and to
have accomplished this, the actors
must know exactly what the result will
be of each line read, and in the form
ing of the plav. that is. in the rehear-
sails and first performances, the versa
tile actor must be able to read his lines
so that the tone he uses, and the in
f1ections, will be in complete harmony

usual Dockstader comes this year with
an all new show, not one feature of
last years production having been re-

his show differs considera bly, from the

"Should an actor, in trying to find
the best effect, or the truest ring to
line. constantly vary his infections or
his emphasis, nothing but experience
can help those playing with him to
suddenly rearrange their readings to
definitely bring out the truth of the
thought being expressed. In farce
this is much more difficult to do, ow-
ing to the fact that the majority of
farce writer's have learned that the
best place for a point word EE22ly
is at the end of the sentences, sA@7e%e
the actor has to keep constantly in
mind the fact that the point word or
words must be more carefully empha-

zone often hears an actor say oh,
it's impossible to read a line exactly
alike at each performance without be-
coming mechanical. He forgets that
the greatest art is not to give great
performance occasionally but at every
time the play is given Until the actor
can produce the same effect at each
performance, regardless of any outside
interest, depression or physical I'M
eveness, he has not full CONTROL of his
art. When an actor varies in the
slightest measure in the handling of
his part, he influences everyone else
in the cast with whom he comes in
contact which naturally influences the

THERE'S A REASON
Can't Protest Against Assessment
When Boosting Values for Show.
ing Before the Arbitrator.

Much speculation Ii going on IA
municipal circles as to the reasons
back or the Detrou United Railway
failure TO appear before the board Of
review In opposition TO The assess
ment OF $4,l00.000 placen on the
trackage upon which It's franchises
have expired. representing several i'm
portant truck lines OF what was for
merly the Detroit Citizens Street
railway aystem. The assessment re-
mains the same as last year, when the
franchises were still In force. and the
u. r is now called upon to pay a
direct tax TO the city as we'll as the
state and county on this valuation
instead Of the two per cent tax on
gross receipts which II formerly paid
the city on these lines.
Assuming that the tax rate for next
year will be $3.50. the ID. u. r. will
pay taxes on the portions OF its lines
on which the franchises have expired
OF $75.850. which is about $4,000 In ex-
cess OF the specific tax heretofore paid
on its entire system. Yet. the com.
pany had no complaint to make to the
board Of review, and is evidently sat
isfied TO pay the greatly increased
tax.
II has been suggested that In view
OF Its claims before the arbitration
board as TO the high value OF its
property Il would not be consistent for
the company TO ask for reduction or
fits assessment, But lest there be
other and more subtle reasons. Mayor
Breitmeyer has asked Attorney Clyde
I. Webster to look into the question
II want TO know particularly what

attitude has on the arbitration mat
ter" says the mayor.
