New-York tribune., 1918-06-02

The conceited actor is generally nat
utal in his manner. He believes his
personality to be appealing and he
feels satisfied that he is correctly cast,
therefore he is not compelled to think
up tricks and to strain for effects. The
worst performances are usually given
by actors who are not satisfied with
their natural equipment or with their
fitness for the task in hand. Thus they
work hard to overcome handicaps. They
throw in two gestures where only one
belongs, and do stunts With their
voices They grit their teeth and try
to put over performance by sheer
will power and courage.
And. of course, they can't do it. Fear
and the effort which it begets are fatal
to ease. The man who is trying to play
Hamlet is just about as badly off as
the man who is trying to drive
26o yards. He will press and slice
his performance, or top it, or hook
it. The long grass awaits him.
The world, at least all the best
parts of 1t, belongs to the cocksure
man, and we give you Christopher Co
lumbus and Christy Mathewson. In
his prime the young Christy never
doubted that he could find the corner
of the plate, any more than Columbus
doubted that he could discover the
other edge of the world. We give you
Bernard Shaw and Jerry Travers. Mr..
Shaw's belief that ne could do certain
dramatic jobs better than Shakespeare
may not always have been we'll
founded, but it did not prevent him
from achieving the best that was in him.
Just think how the personal effective
ness of Theodore Roosevelt would be
impaired if he lost his egotism. We
are thinking also of DR.. johnson and Tv
Cobb and Julius Cesar and Stanley
Ketchell and the two Wagners. We also
have in mind the fact that the most
successful organization the world has
ever known is church whose head is
recognized by his followers as in
faIlible.
Continuing the complaint of the
harmful effect of fattery upon the
Washington Square Players, the young
man continues: "We had the feeling
that we could do anything" This
strange young man voices this state
ment as the revelation of a weakness.
although it is exactly the spirit which
every director in the world, both in the
Held OF art or industralism, endeavors
to instil into his organization. Peo-
pie who are shooting at anything are
pretty sure to do something. Isn't It
set down some place that mans reach
should always be a little greater than
lis grasp?
However, in order to get away from
generalities, we wish to quote a little
from one of the best producers in New
York.
~ never tell an actor that he is bad. I"
explained this particular producer. "r
might try to get somebody else, but if
that wasn't possible would do nv best
to convince the bad actor that he was
good. The more confident could make
him by just SO much would increase
the chance that he might finally work
out smooth and easy performance,
II he knows that he's bad, it's certain
that the audience will know it. too"
New-York tribune., 1918-06-02

william James once wrote an essay
In which he maintained that habit was
a master not to be conquered except
by the young. "In most of u.s." he
wrote, "by the age Of thirty the char
acter has set like plaster, and will
never soften again."
The folk who write scenarios for R;1,
Hart know better. James is refuted a
thousand times every night in as many
American moving picture theatres. We
have yet to see a film in which Mr..
Hart has not cast off a wicked past
with the greatest ease. In the first reel
he is invariably bandit or a bartender
OF the meaner sort. And vet he soft
ems. 1t does not surprise us any more.
All these bad men of his have the
same weakness. They can look into
the mouth of a gun levelled in anger
with complete indifference. Indians and
united States cavalry bother them not
at all, but not single ruffian in the
whole Hart series can face an ingenue
without breaking down into reform.
10 our mind Hart is one of the
best screen actors. His personality il
interesting, and he plays with sincerity
and power, even if he does pose a bit.
Moreover, most of his pictures are good
examples of picture construction with
plenty of action. Although the set
tings are good, they are never OBJ
eruded to a point where they slow up
the story. And yet we hope some day
TO see picture in which Mr.. Hart is
just as villanous in the last reel as
IN the first. He might, for instance.
shoot the ingenue in the final scene in
stead of embracing her. Even If it ia
essential that he should reform. let
1T be from some other cause than the
pure love of good woman. There are
other agencies. Some men give I'm
liquor not for the sake Of a woman but
For the sake Of their kidneys. Ever 80
many persons simply can't go on being
bud because the doctor won't let them.
Others grow tired Of crime. It Is en-.
tirely possible that a bandit should
turn respectable because of his obiec-
tion TO late hours and travel. Perhaps
we are asking too much. Maybe WILL
lam James was right, after all. Habit
is the master, and Bill Hart has made
reformation 4 habit.

New-York tribune., 1918-06-02
The end Of the young member Of the
Washington Square Players is de-
scribed in the letter, as follows:

"My young relative has come back to
work in my Office. He is wiser, but he
has lost three years out of his business
career. He could have worked and en-,
joyed his amateur theatricals, too, if
he hadn't been convinced that he was
doing great work for the stage and
given up everything else for it,"
We cannot find ourselves in the least
fearful about the fate of the young
man. Anybody who has been able to
acquire wisdom and at the same time
avoid three years Of Office work is not
entitled to sympathy.
