1T ALWAYS hesitate to give any
opinion on the art of acting,
writes George Arliss to the illustrated
London News.
"On the judgment of other arts !
am more courageous. I feel sure that
I could offer valuable suggestions to
the house painter as I watch him at
his work, or to the man who comes
to put in the new stove, but / have
not the same confidence in my ability
to offer any really useful hints to
actors.
II think that the technique of the
actors art is more or less on hard
and fast lines that can be laid down
with some certainty, but, beyond that
tho art of acting is so dependent upon
the temperament and the method OF
the individual, the art of concealing

sral cases designed apparently to
show that It is not necessary for the
actor TO feel his part in order to move
his audience
There can be little doubt that in
certain telling situations, supplied by
rho author, an actor who is master of
his art can move an audience without
himself being moved. and / have
known many instances where the play
Is so appealing that even q bad actor,
incapable of great feeling, has sue
ceeded in creating a deep impression
upon his audience.
But If 1t is suggested that it is an
actual advantage for the actor to alb
stain from feeling the emotions that
he Is intended to arouse, then l am
bound to say that this Is entirely con-
frary to my own conviction. How
ever great an impression an actor
may create by this method, ] can
! never be convinced that he would not
have made a still deeper impression
TX he had felt the emotion himself.
Surely the best and truest acting
must come from within and not be

of an actor who is SO emotional that
he gives different performance
