Actress 0000m S&A'F ' Wcnc ArfKED TO i?5snar THE FALLING OFF IN THE DRAMA, I OHOULD UN HESITATINGLY BAY THAT IT WAS DUE TO OUR PRESENT STAR SYSTEM, WHICH HAS DEPRIVED THE AMERICAN STAGE OF MOST OF ITS GOOD ACTORS AND HAS KILLED MANY GOOD PLAY8. if I 1 1 m The question beforo nny average manager whon ho comes to consider playa submitted to him is not, "Is this play dramatic, vivid, truo to life, urtistici" but, "Doch it fit my star?" If it doco .not nnd tho play is mill a good one, it may bo often ia cut hero and tlmro, changed around, readjusted, dislocated, ruined often, and thou nut on tho ctagc. It id nlwnya cafo, I think, to fall back ou Shukeipearo for tho filial word .about dramatic art, and whon ho eays "Tlio play's tho thing" ho utters an otoriml truth. After all, tho sccno and the aetord aro but tlio best available means found yot for expressing tho meaning of a writer. In days of old, when tho theater called forth only intelligent admiration and criticism, it was tho poet who was tho master. ' On tho CJrocI: stage tho heads o tho actors woro hidden in con ventional masks; thuy woro high sandals to raiso them fyom tho fitago, and they could noitbor walk with dignity nor express much with their features. Their namos woro not known. What thoy had to do was to speak their linos cloarly, intelligently and loudly. In Homo tho actors woro slaves or hold in littlo account. Today so changed is tho point of view that TILE ACTOR IS iOVKRYTIirxa, THE PLAY LITTLE, TIIE PLAYWRIGHT" THE LAST CONSIDERATION; OF AL By ami by wo phall change all that, perhaps, and when wo do tho drama will takb an unward tendency. . in .
