THE ACTORS REASONING.

THE actOr-manager is really a natural
outgrowth in the theatre. a successful
actor reasons that as long as the audi

play he wants to make Il still more per-
sCnal thing Of ii and have his own thea
tre and his own arrangements through-
out, SO that he may receive his public
somew what more in the light OF guests.
There are faults. you know" mused
the actor, reminiscently, in the actor
manager system. Plays begin 70 be
written fer him TO suit his special genius
and personality Through this the drama
suffers; perhaps the actor, too. For in

"On the other hand. I'D one could take
such detailed interest in the production
Of his play as the actOr-manager. He
follows every move of the stage business
and polishes Oft every line. Little points

New-York tribune., 1911-02-05
ACTOR-MANAGERS IN ENGLAND.

My first attempt at an answer TO
that" replied Mr.. Miller, would be this:
The actor-manager exists in England be-
cause there individuality seems to count
very much more heavily than il does
, here. If once they accept an actor there
they regard him as some one who be-
longs in q sense TO them. They feel in
a way responsible for him. and they
stand by him. He can count on the sup
port Of the public, and he can also count
on respectful and dignifed comment
from the press. The average criticism is
nourishing 10 the dramatic art. 1t Is
suggestive, constructive
ION the other hand, i'm America the
theatre although very largely patron
ized-very much more universally. Of
] course, than in England-is supported
with the pocketbOok, but very little with
the heart. / feel that the slap-dash COM
mentaries that, although not by any
means universal, are widespread enough
( do a great deal toward rotting away the
foundation from beneath the feet Of
those who are trying 10 build up some-
thing for the drama
For these reasons the actor who has
once made his mark feels far more able
90 stand UP alone in England as actor
and manager both than he does here.
he feels surer support back of him.
Then there are other reasons. In
England there is no road not in the
sense that We have ii here. For the
theatre London il practically England.
and once his reputation is established
an actor stays - London. He can then
better afford 10 lease his own theatre
and settle down T. devote himself and
his efforts to one spot and more or less,
% one audience Here he cannot afford
10 remain in one place, because there
are pots Of gold in every city in the
country. Tho actor must keep mov-
ing on.
Again the germ Of centralizing tho
control Of theatres has not yet hoped
over upon English soil. 1t is not very
easy for actor-managers 10 exist where
such control has already oyertaken us.
