Does the stock actor have to stand
comparison with the one-play actor,
ask Robt. BlayIock dramatic direc-
tor in the North Brothers Stock com
pany, I'm other words is the stock ac-
tor expected to give as good a per-
Torrance of a part as the actor who
has spent weeks preparing one part
and a whole season acting it?
We'll, I'll tell you," he answered
himself. "A short time ago 1 played
Mephisto in Faust, and while on
Kansas avenue after a performance 1
heard a man say: Yes, he played a
pretty good Mephisto, but he is not
as good as was Lewis Morrison
Now, isn't it really remarkable that
Mr.. Morrison with his twenty years of
playing one part should be better in
it than man who learns the part
and plays it in one week. 1 am sure
that the average patron of a stock
theater does not consider the fact that
it is a performance which has had
one weeks preparation that is being
witnessed.
Every little defect that may crop
out is picked up quickly by some per-
sons, that is, if an actor chances to
stumble on line he is condemned, at
least laughed at. and yet he is study
ing one part and playing another all
of the time.
Il am not apOlogizing for the mis-
takes of stock actors In the first place
I am not very lenient with them my
self in my capacity as dramatic di-
rector. l insist that they know every
line before the Tnal rehearsal, but 1 do
think that there should be a line
drawn on the criticism given on the
work of members of stock companies.
"One can go to the stock theater
and see plays having a metropolitan
reputation presented upon a high
plane of acting which is just as good
as that of travelling companies at top
prices.
1t must be understood that in stock
there are actors and actresses who get
as high salaries as do those who act in
one play and who must needs be bet
ter than the average travelling thes-
plan because the stock actor is engaged
for year at least, while the one night
stand player usually spends a night
in a town and goes on. If he gives a
bad performance the auditor is dis
appointed and that is all; if a stock
company does not keep it's players up
to an established standard the house
is not patronized and the company
closes"
