On Acting.

Acting is not trade which tends
to stability and dignity of character,
but encourages sensibility andIflashes
of warm instinct. Extreme alertness
to praise and blame, tremendously
combined with vanity and absorption
in one topic, are almost a necessity of
the occupation; but this existence,
however narrow and distorted, has the
primal virtues of vividness and vital
ity. 1t not only depicts human pas
sions. but it also requires in its serv-
ants varied and constantly ready
fund of emotions and instincts. Lack
ing the free air Of independence and
impartial thought, 1t has to the full
the warm breath Of crude but passion
ate humanity. In feeling, however
blind. in life. however fragmentary, the
onlooker finds more to love In the
players world than In all the dead
decorum OF a Philistine prosperity
