Abstract

This is extremely significant. They say: “a reliable actor.” He planned it – he did it. The original outline got conveyed to the audience . . . A craftsman conveys the ideals of his craft; a magician – the cleanness of his work, the dexterity and agility of his hands, a representational actor conveys the feelings – within his narrow bounds, of course (if he belongs to the emotionally-willful type). Each of them may convey his own thing, yet every school demands that it be done well, reliably, with full confidence – to a T. (As they say nowadays: “at a full 100 percent.”)
