that they are heartless. Even when
they don't burst out with demonstra-
tIons of their emotions, the actor can
feel when he has stirred them truly.
People are perhaps reader to laugh
than to cry but for all that, the plays
with a. little pathos are the ones that
last. The farces are gone with a pun,
because one can rarely laugh twice ex

compilation for such politeness at the
