"The young American actress who has as- pirations toward the highest class of drama has no chance of schooling -with the excep- tion of yourself as model;" said the reporter. "Will you kindly say how you think such a girl should studyl" "Books will not Illetp her very much -I zlgean books that analyze and dissect the plays and charadteq of the great dramatists. Helen Faucit's (Lady Martin) account of her study of Shakespearean roles is the most in- teresting and perhaps the most really help- ful,, But I must confess that I believe she did .not have this thorough and delightful insight into the characters till long after she had played and, as it were, grown into them. And though much of the business she sug- gests is extremely ingenious. and delicate, I mak. a good deal; of it would not be dramat- ically effective. George UMW ''Actors and the Art of Acting' contains some valuable suggestions and many interesting reminis- ,cences. But let her belare of the ordinary commentator and essayist, who is doubtless extremely clever: --the only trouble is that be is toorcleveri, and finds subtleties and hidden meanings that Shakspeare never dreapted of. ...$HagnsrnA IE'.s. eimeracirY. "The great beauty of Shakespeare is his simplicity and intelligibility. Of course, there mean occasional phrase and word that .tnpy require explanation, but I allude to the characters. They are easily understood, and you always find the key in the play. Take; for instance, Rosalind'. Some people seem 'to think that she should be rough and Bois - torous. They cannot surely remember the words in the first act of the 'Duke': ' Her smoothness. Iter very silence and her patience, Speak to the people and they pity her. "The best light on Shakespeare is to be found in the careful study of his own works; one will certainly be helped to a better under- standing by a thorough knowledge of history and by the study of other writers of the Elizabethan period. I gained a great deak from reading Thomas Lodge's story of 'R.osa- lind.1 No actress who does not.. possess a poetic temperament will ever make a success in Shakespearean parts, and she must not fall into the error of thinking that the emotional temperament is the same thing, as the poetic,. The ono is imaginative, the other actual; and the difference in the results of the work of each is similar to the difference between the work of au artist and a photographer.. The purely emotional actress is generally utterly at sea when she attempts to play the legiti- mate, and the cause is not hard to find. In emotional plays what the actress does is of the highest importance, and what she says ix of comparatively little moment. She may gasp, or, sigh, or appeal to the heavenly powers just as sho may feel is most effective, but it is the physical depiction of the passion or the emotion that affects tho audienee far more than the words. In the. poetic play what she says is of ehiefest moment, and the action, though illustrative of, must he subor- dinate to, the text." EMOTIONAL PLAYS. "Is not 'Juliet' an emotional part:" "No, it is a Part of passion as intense as Sou will, but not of emotion in the sense that we apply that word to a play. The feeling; avowed and depicted in the emotional play are those of the nervous, hysterical tempera- ment. In them the emotions evoke and rule the thought; 'in poetic plays the thoughts call forth and govern the feelings. 'Camille,' 'Miss Multon,' 'East Lynne,' aro plays of the emotional order." • "Bat, Mine. Modjeska, you play 'Camille' til addition to so many Shalcesperean parts." "Yes, but itis the only one of the kind I attempt, and if I succeed fairly in it, the fact is due to my having bad so thorough a train• ing in every style of acting. And this brings us back to your supposed young actress. Let ber work well, no matter in what line she is east, and she will gain experience 'that will be invaluable. If she has intelligence and poetic feeling she will bo able to .play the higher roles when the opporttinity comes. But above all things she must not seek to begin at the top of the ladder, Very rarely does an actress who so begins maks any improvement. Practice only, con- firms faults, and the frequentrepetition of a role imperfectly conceived and executed seems to blunt the perceptions and the sensibilities. I unfortunately gained my knowledge on this head from experience. During my very filet season I was what you callhere a'star.' At tho end of it I fortunately had sense enough to know that I was worse than at'the beginning, and !bat if I persevered in that course I should never maks an actress. So I went into a company and played the smallest parts, and those of every kind I have been even a drunken servant, and have stood up through .whole acts as a silent super. I could sing, and had a fair amount of experience in comic opera. I am almost ashamed to say what my salary was during this season. It was the munificent sunt of $40 a month. I could not live on that, so the next season I again went starring, After' that was over I was fortunate in getting into a good- company to play juvenile part;. I was fully five years .as the stage before I had any established po- sition as a leading woman."- ew York Tri - lame Interview. 1:nconrage the Editor.
