And 10 and behold. what he said was
true,
There was that electric dynamo OF a
man playing a part which required the
weight and repose of years, the deliberate
speech. the thoughtful utterance.

ever.
That's my idea of real acting. but Oh

The Godfather of :he interview was
rather nervous about il. anyhow.
Whatever you do" he said to me IN a
stage whisper just before the Great Actor
came, don't ask him anything about the
Coincide FRANCHISE. He has only con-
scented TO give you this interview because
he thinks that, being an American. you
won't bother him about that matter.
Oh. these solar pleXus blows!

Coincide FRANCHISE and the punishment

I shall never hear the truth from his own
lips.
All could do under these distressing
circumstances was TO give a little gasp of
dsmay and tumble for my notes so as to
scratch out Coincide FRANCHISE" which
was there in big letters.

There was nothing left on the paper but

A CONDENSED EXPLANATION.

Anyway, he didn't care: he decided for
himself that he had n few moments In
which TO say something about the French
stage, so he ratified off few parts OF
speech.
'Of course. we play with more reserve
nowadays" he declared. plays of the
present demand 1t. The drama of Victor
Hugo as interpreted by Mounet-Sully
called for broad gestures. much decama-
ton, big effects to thrill an audience.
Now the style of drama has quite
changed and we actors creep on the
stage and get our best effects by reserve
and tenseness. The basis is different; nat
urally the art of acting moves In accord
with IL. The same thing is true every
where-not only In France"
