THE ACTOR.
Oh. man. with your wonderful dowvr.
Oh, woman. with senium and grace.
, You can teach the whole world with
your power
If you are but worthy the place.
The stage Is a force and a factor
In moulding the thought of the day,
If only the heart of the actor
Is high as the theme of the play.
No discourse or sermon can reach ua
Through feeling to reason like you;
No author can stir us and teach us
With lessons as subtle and true.
Your word$ and your gestures obeying.
We weep or rejnlce with your part.
And the player, behind all his playing.
' He ought to be great a* his art.
No matter what role you are giving.
No matter what skill you betray.
The every-day life you are living
Is certain to color the play.
The thoughts wp call secret and hidden
Are creatures of malice. In fact;
They steal forth unseen and unhidden.
And permeate motive and act.
The genius that shines like a comet
* Kills only one part of Clod's plan
If the lesson the world derives from it
t is marred by the life of the man.
Be worthy your work if you love U;
The King should he fit for the crown;
Stand high as your art or above It,
And make us look up. not down.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
