The Making of an Experienced Actor

The Making of an Experienced Actor
In the American Magazine theirs is
q remarkable interview with George
Arliss, who, according to the opinion
of most people, bids fair to become as
important and successful an actor as
the late Richard Mansfield. He is now
43 years of age. In his early days he
had as varied and hard and altogether
as useful an experience as that of
Mansfield. He played In many parts.
One week he was a policeman, one
week a clerk. another time a rustic. He
could mak these characters young or
old. as he wished. The young actor.
full of ambition, made 1t his task to
study each little part as carefully as
he could. If he We're to play a Lon
don clerk, for example, he watched ac-
tual clerks till he found one who
seemed, in dress and manner, either to
something that would be effective on
the stage. Then MIR. Arliss would go
home and design a hat or a collar or a
wig or a suit of clothes, or all COM
bined. that he might look as we'll as
talk and act. like this type from life
he nae been watching.
Anything / saw on the streets
which I thought effective dramatically
I managed to get o. the stage before

what was the result? Sometimes /

me personally 1t was the finest kind
of training. Not only did I skill my
eye to observation. but I acquired a

Into the Forever.

Into the Forever.
What may we take into the vast forever?
That marble door
Admits no fruit of all our long endeayor.
No fawn-wreathed crown we wore.
No garnered lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknown
portal?
No gold, no gains
Of all U %toiling: In the lsfe immortal
NO horded wealth remains.
Nor guilt, nor stains.
Naked from out the far abyss behind us
No word came with our coming to remind
us
What wondrou world was near,
No hope. no fear.
Into the silent, ~starlcss night before us.
Naked we glide,
No hand has mapped the constellation DER
us.
No comrade at our side,
No chart, no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight black
and hollow.
Our footsteps fare;
The reckoning of a Fathers hand wa fol.
low
His love alone is there,
No curse. no care.
