''Pantomime Is the Father
of All Comedy" Says Elliot

revived the story of this pantomime
pair for the entertainment OF the
patrons of his Little Theater in
New York.
The value of pantomime in the
conveyance of thought from actor
to audience has been demonstrated
most forcefully in the tours of Ris-
tori, the elder Salvini and Madame
Bernhard of this country. None of
these great artists could speak a
word of English, yet they conveyed
the various emotions with their
hands and eyes so intelligently that
American audiences could under
stand almost the entire plot of their
plays.
From the very beginning of my
stage career, the mirror played an
important part in my rehearsals.
For hours at time | would stand
before a looking glass cultivating
the muscles of my face the same
as those of the rest of my body and
rehearsing the expression that &C
companied every line of dialogue.
To this day I still train my face,
noting carefully the effect of each
expression for all new parts, and |
think the public appreciates this for
they have been most generous in
their applause over bits of my work
in which there was not a spoken
word, it being entirely devoted to
pantomime"

tomimic acting as Arthur Elliot,
who plays one of the principal roles
in Three Faces East at the Bran
deis April 9, 10 and II. Recently,
while advising a young aspirant for
stage honors as the most essential
point in the success of comedy
work, Mr.. Elliot made the following
interesting statements:
ITO my mind, pantomime is the
father of all comedy-it is more
than that-it is father, mother and
the whole blamed family. Some of
the so-called 'high-brow' thespians
may slightingly refer to the gentle
pastime as 'mugging,' but take it
from me, it is the most essential
part of real comedy work.

as a means of entertainment long
before the spoken drama came into
use. And it was pantomime that in

III the reversed saying, Laugh and
Grew Thin" A vaudeville headliner
herself, she finds entertainment by
attending vaudeville shows, and she
just loves to laugh, laugh out loud,
too. She says it's good exercise, and
just the thing to shape your desti-
mics to the new lines decreed by
fashion. "If you want to grow thin,
laugh. That's my idea about it"
says Miss Samuels. "A fat man is
too lazy to laugh. He just chuckles.
But if you laugh heartily, it's as
good exercise as dumb-bell exer-
else or swimming. Some girls think
that as a matter of refinement they
ought to restrain their laughter.
They should not. Be as honest with
your sense of humor as you are
with your own handbook and when
you see something to laugh at,
laugh right out, and you will ex-
ercise as many muscles as you do
when swimming, and there is moth
ing like this to give you the lines
