Reuben MamouIian Discusses
Equipment Of the Actor
in. Grand Opera.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 20
That concentration on the part OF
the actor, in opera as well as in
DRAMA must, be so highly developed
that he is able to retain absolutely
the attention Of the onlooker, is a
cardinal principle with Reuben Ma
moulian, who was recently appointed
producer and .vice-director OF the
opera department of the Eastman
School of Music.
1.-THE actor must attract the at
tention of the onlooker within the
span of the stage on which he is,
and must never let that attention
wander. outside this span," says Mr..
Mamoulian in Musical America. ITO
do this, absolute, absorption in the
business of each moment on the
stage is required of the actor, and
such absorption can only be secured
through power of voluntary concen-
tration, @t r.. r.
! LET, US suppose that the door Of
| this room opens and a green ele-
plant comes through it. There
would be immediate concentration
by every one on that elephant. This
Is an extreme Illustration of In.
| voluntary concentration, the sort
which is most common. But it IS
| this centering of interest, this focus
of attention that the actor is en-
deavoring, to secure from his audi
ences. There will be few green ele-
give Importance to his particular
nf hn IN hn
thing he is doing.
He may not hold the center of
the stage, but he will always re.
ceive his proper share of attention
If the concentration he gives to his
work keeps his impersonatiOn con-
stantly in its right relation to the
semblance of life as it Is repre-
sented on the stage. When this
semblance is produced in proper
balance we get real ensemble, and
we are getting practically no such
performance in opera today"
Mr.. Mamoulian holds that the
power of concentration required of
performer is not only voluntary.
but must be so completely controlled
by will that he can transfer concen-
trated attention Immediately from
one object, circumstance or action

is merely the result of practice in
rapid concentration on detail, and

ny which similar control of atten-

department to present opera as a
FORM or the drama. and prepare

fully with musical training the time

principles Of Mr.. Mamoulian's
theory Of acting are being applied
