Excerpt from The Actor and His Art: Some Considerations of the Present Condition of the Stage IT was once a principle Of our social economy in choosing professions for our sons, that one should go into the army, another to the Bar, and the fool of the family into the Church. Since the abolition of purchase in the army and the application to candidates for admis sion to the Bar Of the system of examinations, young gentlemen, unable to qualify by the exercise of their brains for the profession of arms or the law, have had to turn elsewhere for a livelihood. Far be it from me to suggest that this affords an explanation of the influx to the Church, which is under-paid as well as over-crowded. Young men of good family in these days go into the City.

Excerpt from Talma on the Actor's Art No one an read Talma's subtle yet simple description of the qualities and the course of study essential to the actor, without a conviction that acting is one of the most fascinating of the arts. To the actor the whole field of human nature is Open. Whether in the ideal world of the stage or in the actual world of social intercourse, hismind is continually accumulating impressions Which become a part of his artistic being. This experience is common to the students of 'other arts, 'ibut the actor has this advantage, that all he learns is embodied in his own personality, not translated through some medium, like the painter's canvas or the novelist's page. At the same time, this purely personal art is subjected to the most severe tests. It is easier to detect a aw in an actor's impersonation than an improbability in a book. The man enacts the character before many - a false intonation jars immediately upon the ear, an unnatural look or gesture is promptly convicted by the eye. The co-operation of sensibility and intelligence of which Talma speaks, has thus to be conducted under the most exacting conditions. There must be no suggestion of effort. The essence of acting is its apparent Spontaneity. Perfect illusion is attained when every effect seems to be an accident. If the declamation is too measured, the sense of truth is at once impaired 3 if, on the other hand, it falls only the shadow of a shade below the level of appropriate expres sion, the auditor's sympathy is instantly checked. The union of grandeur without pomp, and nature without triviality, is of an artistic ideals the most difficult to attain; and with this goal before him no actor can feel that his art is a plaything.
