John Bunny as an Actor.

To the Editor OF The star:
The editorial in The Star of April 81
entitled John Bunny" fails to do com
plete justice to a man who was much
more than "pantomimist" with fun
ny face I knew Bunny and know
most of the other stars personally.
having often seen them acting and re-
hearsing in the studios and out on
locations" Bunny felt aggrieved
when called fat comedian" He had
perfect control of his face, and could
register all the emotions at command
Of his director. The best motion picture
actors do very little in the way of
pantomime. More than half of the
story must be told by the facial mus
cles. This art is really more difficult
than that of the speaking stage. and
far more influential, because 1t reaches
ten times as many people.
