can aetor," he says. has been the
lack of pantemimic ability. Ac'-
tresses, too. are sadly lacking in
knowledge of the art, when they
should be the most ready to assimi-
late it. This disparity the moving
pictures are rapidly filling, because
they have no other means OF expres-
sion for emotion or sentiment in order
to tell the story.
'Take the French pantomimics in
their little plays. The artists do not
need words to convey Impressions. A
shrug of the shoulder. the movement
of the hands, the head, even a fiut-
ter of the eyelid will convey as ur--
erringly as words the message sought
| to be impaired.
NOW, it is this that is being
learned by the players for the pic
lures And as they are migrating
back and forth between stage and
studio. the pantomimic art is being
revived in the 'theater.

of my contention is the experience tf
