posed, rather. TO interpret the act Of
weeping as symbol of grief, and that
may be done in less time. But it may
illustrate the difference between 100
per cent emotion, so to speak, and that
which is restrained by the guiding
power of the mind.
Then, again, stage emotion is what
l might call reminiscent. That is, we
are usually moved during the first read
ing of play or during rehearsals-
actually moved to tears by the lines
and situations. That emotion is real
and genuine. Later, though less spon-
taneous, it is used as the pattern, so
to speak, upon which each successive
performance is modelled. l recall the
story of Thalma, the great French
tragedian. He learned suddenly of his
fathers death and uttered terrible
cry Later he used that cry in one
of his roles. His subconscious mind
had made a note of the cry and regis
tered it for future use. Similarly, our
subconscious minds make note of our
reactions during rehearsals and regis
ter them for future use.
In my division of the requisites Of
emotional acting into three parts, I
pointed out that the actress must not
reveal the fact that she is cognizant Of
her own power over the audience, but
at the same time she must be mentally
conscious Of the effect that she is pro-
ducing. For the moods of audiences
may differ, and the same note held a
longer or shorter space Of time may
have either a stimulating or depressing
effect on the sensbilities of the peo-
pie out front. This sort of technical
and mechanical dexterity may be devcl-
oped, however, to point where it is a
hindrance rather than an aid. For
example, l have seen actors who have
so skilled themselves in the mechanics
of expression that all natural feeling is
lost, and for an audience there is some
thing cold and unmoving in the per-
Torrance. Only the skilled observer
would know what the trouble was, but
the effect is unsatisfactory to the
average man or woman, although he or
she would not be able to explain why
he was unmoved.
Another important point in the ef-
fort to take hold and maintain an
emotional response is involved in the
matter of concentration. To say, as
in the famous Diderot paradox, that
Ito move others you must be yourself
unmoved," is to my mind to carry mat
tiers too far, but l am equally sure
that you cannot hold the undivided at
tention of an audience and sway them
if during the playing of a part your
mind is on other things. l could cite
the case Of a we'll known actor who
occasionally gives a magnificent per-
Torrance, but who at other times has
vacant look in his eye that denotes
wandering mind, or at least impa-
thence for the final curtain to fall
Needless to say, the effect on such oc-
casions is minimized. Interest in the
play is lost while you wonder what is
on his mind. The actor in question
was heralded few years ago as one
who would achieve the highest posi-
BILE position in the theatre, but the

who never saw theatrical production
until she was grown. Then she spent

steadily to performances of classic
French drama. that she received a

art of the theatre than is the lot Of
most American girls. After the Paris

lane C01UL Discusses the
Mechanics of Emotion

The inevitable question arising from
success in any line, whether it be on
the stage, in business or elsewhere, is,
How do you do it? A natural question,
truly, but one that is tremendous in its
simplicity. In business the business
man works and works, acquires the me-
chanics of business and adds to that
bis own ideas and personality. And
that, after all, is just what the actress
does.
Emotion obviously constitutes the
large part of that which we call act
ing; and so far as this is concerned,
there is one cardinal point to consider
where the mind leaves off and the
heart begins, "heart" being in this case
a term that is synonymous with the
emotions.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion as to how far an actress "lets
herself CO.; to what extent her mind
controls her actions on the stage;
whether she really permits herself to
feel" a situation in which an emotion
is pictured as deep and straight from
the heart or whether her mind regu-
lates everything, even to the number of
tears that shall be shed.
Ny belief involves three points to be
considered in this connection:
First-The actress must be moved
herself.
Seecnd-She must know she is being
moved and moving the audience.
Ihird-YET she must know she must
not show it.
By which l mean that she must feel
she is causing laughter or grief with
cut seeming conscious of the fact and
without making it apparent to her audi
ence that she knows that she is sway
ing them.
Reducing matters TO percentage
basis, should estimate that the act.
hs Of so-called moving scenes-that is
70 say, scenes that touch the heart anc
enng the tears-consists of three-qu
yrs emotion. The other quarter is
simply mental balance TO the fly
Sneel, which is necessary in order that
sns speech shall not be incoherent and
aaintelligible, the face tied into un-
signify knots, the smile too strained

Plays and Players

Sinclair Lewis, author Of the new
farce comedy "Hobohemia," came on
from Minneapolis to see the opening
of his play at the Greenwich Village
Theatre and while waiting around for
the verdict sold a serial story to a
weekly paper, sold the book rights to
a big publishing firm, sold two NOV
ing picture scenarios, gathered mate
rial for several short stories and then
announced that he had wasted time
enough in New York and wanted to go
home. Which goes to show that he is
fast worker. Lewis was born in
Sank Centre, Mimi, and lived almost
everywhere else. He graduated from
Yale, made several voyages to Europe
as cattleman, went to Panama steer
age and returned as a stowaway. h
was a reporter in San Francisco,
magazine editor in New York and then
settled down to writing fiction because
he could do that without settling down.
His favorite diversion is moving, but
he takes his Lares and Penates with
him. His idea of keeping going is to
live, as he has, in Charleston for six
months and then move to Seattle, from
Seattle to st. Augustine, from st. Au-
gustne to New Orleans, from New
Orleans to Miles City, Mont.
Lewis wrote "Our Mr.. Wrenn," "The
Trail of the Hawk" "The Job" and
"The lnnocents," to say nothing of in
Vulnerable Satevepost stories. Before
his marriage he lived on Charles Street
in New York, but he admits that he
didn't realize the true inwardness of
Bohemia until he had left it for the
quieter atmosphere of the West.
Just now he has a home in Mime
apolis, but he is really already looking
forward to Toxic for his next fresidc.
He is thirty-four years of age and six
feet two in height. His friends call
him "Red," because he is both red (of
hair) and ready. His sense of humor
is ovcrfowing.
