1 rk THE aMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1891. THE ART IN ACTING. (omKlCttlMa' A building up of the entire system follows the use J. v of Dr. Pieroo’s Favorito Prescrip tion. It[s an invigorating, rcstora-. Till. K».nll»l Point In Which th. Actor liur.i-. from tlic Drum.tl.t. A great French critic said once, in concluding an essay, that acting was the lowest of the arts. He admitted that it was an art, but only by courtesy. I agree with him, and I do not think it requires much reasoning to arrive at that conclusion. The mimetic art means simply the interpretation of the creative art. Do you catch the idea?

It improves digestion, en riches tho blood, dispels aches and pains, melancholy and nervousness, brings refreshing sleep, and restores flesh and strength. For periodical pains, internal inflammation and ul ceration, leucorrhea and kindred ail ments, it is a positive specifio—a guaranteed one.

A thou sand different persons, a thousand differ ent things rush to be assimilated by their genius. The effect is an aggregate of beings taken from the whole of a na ture. The individuality of the creative genius is deepened, bat is not annihi lated. His art is of the highest, because he is the embodiment, the representa tive of nature. Balzac said that to de- icribe a landscape he turned himself for the moment into trees and grass, and fonntains and stars, and sunlight, and thus reached the heart of that which he would reproduce. In other words, he created the landscape just as Rousseau would create the saraq landscape upon six inches of canvas. Bat for the actor—let him stonu Par- nassns as he will; there are few leavee in the lanrel crown. It is bis fnnetion to represent the creations of genius—to in terpret them to the public. He has not the thousand inspirations of the author: he has only the suggestions of the glow ing words. The actor is subservient to the author, notwithstanding he mny for get his bondage for a brief five minutes and breathe the free air of genius. There was an age in France, they say, when uetors were provided simply with the framework of tho drama and left to improvise the rest. In fact, Goldoni, the Italian dramatist, speaks of supplying (dots to the French king’s players from which they improvise the speeches. But we have no evidence that the actors rose Above the level of the Chinese stage of today, where a similar practice prevails. Mind you, this opinion is not accepta ble to the public. I know it must be unpopular of necessity. The public looks upon Sidelong, Mars or Rachel in terpreting the grand creations of gen ius and regards the actor ns the em bodiment of Shakespeare or Racine or Corneille. The public shonts with ap plause when tne actor trembles with feigned passion, bnt this same public forgets that the words, the action, the expression are all simply echoes of an other genius. In the clamor of approval the creative art is forgotten, although that is the base of the entire structure. No actor brings this genius nearer to the heart of the public, to be snre, bnt at the same time let him remember that he is only the interpreter, after all, and the shonts are really for Shakespeare and Racine. And, to end with a suggestion, is not the actor’s art akin to the journalist’s— that ia, in the relation of the latter to literature? It seems to me that the ilayhouse and the newspaper go hand n band. They are popular vehicles of thought, and are within the scope of the people.

Starfish eat oysters, bat natural ists differ as to the precise way In which they dsvonr them. Ancient naturalists believed Asi the starfish waited for a moment when the oyster opened its valves to Introduce one of its rays Into the opening, and baring pat one foot Into the domicile it toon pat the other four in and finished np by devouring the native. Modern observations bavs proved that this Is not quite correct. Some naturalists assert that, on ob taining possession of the oyster, the star fish brings bis month to the edge of th# shell and then with the assistance of a Bold which its month secretes it forces open the valve* and the entrance la ob tained. Another naturalist gives a dif ferent explanation of the transaction, namely, that the oyster is seised by the starfish and held tight by ita month; the starfish then everts its stomach and envelops the oyster, which farces it to open Its shell However this may be, it is clear that the starfish swallows oys ters in the earns manner as human be ings.—London Tit-Bits. av-Ask fee catalogue.
