"pANToM1ME, a lost art in the the
ater, is coming back and all be-
cause of the movies. Not since the days.
many years ago, of the famous Ravel
family. of Italian pantomimists have
actors so seriously considered the art of
silent acting as they are doing today
SO says William J. Ferguson, one Of
Americas oldest actors, who was on
the stage at the Ford Theater in Wash
ington when Lincoln was shot.
Mr.. Ferguson, in an interesting talk
on the stage recently pointed out that
the style Of acting changes with the
times.
Actors hold the mirror to nature as
Shakespeare says. and with the coming
of the motion picture we have begun to
develop a school Of pantomimic real
ists." said Mr.. Ferguson.
In the early days Of the theater.
when Shakespeare was all the rage. we
had what was known as Toga actors
artists wno did not feel at home In
trousers because they had been SO used
to wearing skirts Later on we come to
the pantaloon age Of acting. 1t was the
period Of polite English comedy and
drawing-room plays, and the gentleman
actors always wore correct clothes and
freshly creased trousers.
From that We drifted to the scene
chewers,' the actors who ranted and
raved-the declamatory school. Tlis
style was used particularly in the old
fashioned melodramas, where the vii
lain went about his numbering with
much gusto and the leading woman
tore her hair to express great emotion.
Evening star., 1921-12-04
The Children and Hamlet

THREE thousand youngsters. eager
and excited, rejoicing in holiday
from their lessons and a party all
their own. were given a memorable
afternoon at the Century Theater in
New York during the Southern
Marlowe engagement, when Shake
speare's Hamlet" was acted especial
ly for them. =.
A unique occasion. an interesting
experiment was the representation OF
a classic drama, and a tragedy at
that. before an audience of 5000 boys
and girls, the majority of whom had
never seen a Shakespearean drama
and never been in legitimate
theater. What these young folk
thought of the spoken play in con-
trast to the motion pictures, which
form their usual diet of entertain
ment. is best shown by the rouslng
enthusiasm which followed each scene
and the tense interest with which the
development of the plot was followed.
If ever Shakespeare as an out-and-
out teller of good story was
yindicated, he came into his own on
this occasion. Any qualms that some
people may have felt about the choice
of this generally considered solemn"
tragedy as amusement for young folk
were quickly dispelled by the evident
fascination with which the play i'm
mediately gripped the youthful au-
dience.
Mr.. Sothern suggested in a brief
address after the performance that
olders sometimes forget just how
wonderful the mind of the child is in
grapping vital things, how big the
imagination and how unbounded the
willingness Of the child to enter into
the mood of real matters, whether of
literature, art or music.
