a just, proved, unique proves that
through and through possesses him."
WE don't agree with Mr.. Parker. 1t
seems to US that Mr.. Arliss has
made a grave mistake in creating an un-
necessarily eccentric portrait. 1t is diff
fcult to become interested in what his
Paganini does or says, because of con-
slant temptation to observe what he is.
The acting Of Arliss is always distin-
cuished by restraint which at times
rs att and again becomes mere frigldity.
And yet for all this restraint he is fond
Of playing with a prodigality Of gest-
urc. The actor, for instance, uses his
hands with extraordinary skill, but
their eloquence Of expression not
lnfrequently serves to lessen the effect
Of the spoken word.
The play and the portrait rest 70 no
slight extent on the assumption that
genius is the child OF eccentricity. As
matter Of fact, eccentricity is only
fortuitous second cousin of genius. The
fact that Samuel Johnson could not
pass fence without touching each
picket with his walking stick did not
help him a bit when he came to write
the dictionary.
The most eccentric man we know is
en- automobile salesman. and very
ordinary one. We don't know any VIC
/ linists. but we used to play cards with
a mighty good tenor, who was much the
same as other people, barring the fact
that he never could remember how
many trumps were out against him.
The thing that makes musicians differ
ent is their music. Sculptors can
nhrgle freely in any crowd and escape
recognition, and many a general has
altogether escaped the attention Of his
community until war put him into his
sphere.
Ii is difficult TO dramatic the life of
a genius without allowing him to do his
stunt. Even Napoleon hardly belongs
in a drama unless the playwright can,
ly some expedient or other. exhibit his
I skill in military manners. Shakespeare
I knew that there was nothing worth
1 while about Henry V. except his fight
ing qualities, and so he let him fight.
/ When he undertook 10 portray great
and passive Caesar he drew an uncon-
v.acing character. On the other hand.
Shaw succeeded in making Cesar live,
because he put him TO the test Of mill
T taTy emergencies.
+ No play about Goethals would amount
20 much unless he built the Panama
! Canal in the third act, and We can't
conceive an effective Billy Sunday
drama without a revival meeting. The
only way to reveal violinist is TO let
him play and play. and when you do
\ that your play becomes a concert.
