Our Star System
The Drama's B&ne
By AMELIA BINGHAM. 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
