SIDELIGHTS ON
LIFE ON The STAGE
Anecdotes, History, and a Lit
tie Fiction Told of and
BY Actors.

at looks like simplicity itself to
stand on the stage and speak lines
naturally" says David warfield, "yet
there must be more than
mere naturalness, for naturalistic
actors frequently fail to get across
the footlights. Even when you can
not find a flaw in their impersonatIon
you feel that they ought to be re-
enforced by some other nameless
quality.
THE test OF really great acting is
spontaneity or sincerity, or whatever
you choose to call It, and to achieve
that quality It is not sufficient for an
actor to know how another man
would act under given circumstances;
he must know how he would act him
self. Great acting is a purely per
sonaI matter in a sense. Every
great actor plays himself, however
diverse his role.
Mechanical acting simply does not
go through. We have our mechanical
actors who are ornaments to the pro-
fession, but when audiences examine
their Impressions honestly they admit
that, however great they admire
those actors they are not genuinely
touched by their work.
''If acting could be taught the cor
respondence schools would add 1t to
their list of How to increase your
salary, and then everybody by sim
ply following set OF rules could get
their names in electric lights"
