a most valuable asset. The
pictures have run poor mother to
death, and the stage, following in
the wake, has decided that poor

Effective Stage
Entrance a Boon

THERE is art, as every actor
knows, in making an en-
trance, especially II the en-
trance counts for anything in the
action of the play. One must not
slip too unobtrusively on the stage;
neither must one balk the whole
drama until the audience has noted
that a great star arrives. The en-
trance should be made naturally,
yet effectively; and to come on the
stage in just the right way is not
always an essy task.
Gerald Oliver Smith, one of the
most popular members Of the Be-
lasco Players, is gifted with an un-
canny effectiveness in making en-.
frances. When he enters the stage
he does 80 perfectly; the audience

to individual actors It may be be.
cause of the tenseness of situa-
ton on the stage, nor does the
audience over-emphasize the i'm
portance Of the new arrival.
The secret Of Mr.. Smiths effec-
tiveness in getting on stage is the
result of long training in one OF
the finest training schools in the
world-the Birmingham Repertoire
Company, in England. It Is from
such laboratories OF the theater
that some OF the greatest Of modern
artists have sprung.
