The Movie as o.
School of Acting

should probably have decided upon the
full-arm motion as being the more
striking. But the screen does not al
low much room for this sort of swing
ing about, and when | saw these gest-
ures reproduced in the pictures saw
how Intellectual many of them we're.
There was imposed upon me the ne
cessity for learning the use of the
smaller motions-and by it l learned
the amazing range of expression to be
obtained from the use of the hand. l
learned to keep my wide gestures for
moments of supreme Importance.
The suhtlety that lies in economy
of motion is something one cannot fail
to learn from picture-acting. Nothing
would be more grotesque and incom-
prehensible in pictures than the in
discriminate moving about so common
on the stage. Gesture means so much
that it is precious. One must limit
ones self only to those movements es-
sential to the action of the piece or
the development of the character-and
thus is learned the lesson of repose.
1t is, of course, true that picture
dramas are acted with almost no re-

hearsal, SO that the excuses of an in
experienced characterization are not
easily avoided. But one is continually
disciplined by being faced I'M
relentingly with the effect of each least
motion Of face and body. The effect of
the mere flicker of an eyelash is
brought back to the actress-so that
she learns the value of shadings of ex-
pressions with a conviction she may
never acquire on the stage.
The stage and screen make different
demands on one. A screen characteri-
zation is made up of short, concen-
trated moments, in which an actress
calls all her forces under control for a
few minutes. She is not called upon
to sustain her pitch for any length of
time. The. stage gives her the magic
assistance of voice, by which she may
relax her vigilance on her mimetic fac
ulties-but it demands of her that she
sustain mood truly for a much
longer period. Some day, when di-
retors have overcome their passion for
"chopping up" a picture drama into
short scenes, this same capacity for
sustained strength will be demanded
Of the film actress.

When l returned to the stage in
Forever After" after two years spent
in acting before the camera, most of
the critics expressed a mild surprise
that l had not brought back with me
the f1amboyant acting methods of the
movies. Now, the famboyant acting
methods of the movies is a myth which
persists and will not be downed so
long as the memory of those crudest
early films remains. Before actors and
directors were acquainted with the ma
terials with which they had to work
they thought excessive expression was
necessary to put an emotion across in
pictures. The present day familiarity
with the mechanics of picture taking
has revolutionized this theory. Every
one who studies the art of picture
making now knows that before the
powerful magnifying eye of the camera
exaggerations become actual distor-
lions which no one may cultivate with
profit.
The thing against which to be eter-
nally watchful in acting for the pict-
ures is overacting. A greater premium
is placed on restraint here than on the
stage. Restraint is imposed upon one
first of all by the physical limitations
of the screen. Instead of having the
width and depth of the average stage
in which to work one must obtain the
desired results within comparatively
close camera lines. This concentration
within a limited space makes for what
might be called "the small method" in
acting, which is really the develop
ment of finesse.
For example, in my stage work be-
fore l acted in the pictures, I had the
common habit of swinging my arms
about freely. I had never thought
very much about the comparative ad-
vantages of full-arm motion as
against motion of the hands and
forearm, by which to get the same eff
fects--and If had thought about it

A reader who signs himself G. r. K
thinks that we have been signally I'M
fair to Dunsany's "The Tents of the
Arabs" That is entirely possible, al
though we remember very acutely that
we had no enjoyment from it. Of
course, we do not cite this fact as any
certain proof that the work in question
is not among the most lofty. G. r. K.
is chiefly nettled because we spoke
slightingly of the English in this par
ticular Dunsany play. He challenges
US to name any play in New York, with
the exception of Hamlet, which has
more literary flavor. Of course the
answer to that is to cite "Dear Brutus,~
which seems to us to have an immeas-
urably more charming style. 1t may
be true that "The Tents of the Arabs"
is Infinitely better written than a num-
Der of popular plays which our reader
names, but, after ALL even if this were
so, we would still contend that it was
not good writing for the stage.
But we are not inclined to admit its
worth even without this qualification.
G. 7. K. cites us several lines which he
thinks bear out his contention as to the
literary worth of Dunsany's style in
this particular play. One of these is a
speech by Eznarza, who says, ii vii,
raise up my head of a nighttime against
the sky, and the old, old .unboucht
stars shall twinkle through nv hair.
and we shall not envy any of the dia-
DENIED queens of the world"
1t is somewhat unfair to snatch q
few lines out of their context, but adj
this, our dislike for the particu-
lar literary flavor of "The Tents of the
Arabs" arises from just such passages
rms passage seems to us pretentious,
self-conscious English. 1t has no SAVIOR
There are too many adjectives and it
represents no sincerity of expression.
