Roles and the Actor

A CONTROVERSY that has never
been settled and is still
argued pro and con by actors and
managers is based on the question
whether or not an actor is remem-
bered by the roles he plays or
whether only the roles are remem-
oered and the actor who plays them
Is forgotten.
Some say that great roles make
great actors. Other authorities say q
good actor can give a brilliant per-
formance of any role, no matter how
small or uninteresting. Still others
contend that personality makes the
actor and he is remembere by that
undehnable something that registers
on the public mind.
All in all, the subject Is a difficult
one to solve, even with the help of
psychology, calculus or the just plain
putting two and two together to
make four.

The Last Frontier

master of Characterization, for the
people in The Last Frontier are no
mere puppets of the screen, but vital
humans, animated by big emotions
They are our forebears. the empire
builders of the great West.
Again, this director must possess
the faculty of telling a story clearly
in all its details and completely as
a whole. He must etch in one moment
and paint with broad. sweeping
strokes in the next. He must be a
poet in the intimate moments of the
picture and a general in the big ones.
He must feel in his heart the ro-
nance of building the first railroad
across the American Continent, yet he
must give heed to the stark realism OF
the events attending that epochal
achievement
Briefly, these are my ideas of what
I must find in the director of The
Last Frontier They will perhaps ex-
plain why my search is diligent and
