The work oT The dramaTic deparTmenT can be divided inTo Tive parTs: acTing or The inTerpreTaf Tion oT characTerg makeup: sTage consTrucTion or The erecTion oT seTTings which suiT The period and Tempo oT The play: cosTuming Tor accuraTe char- acTerizaTion7 and lighTing-ThaT phase OT The drama which Through iTs symbolism, iTs lighTs and shadows assisTs in expressing The mood. NaTurally, The sTudenT who masTers The arT oT acTing has obTained Tor himselT The greaTesT beneTiT ThaT The drama has To oTTer. To be an acTor he musT learn conTrol oT his voice, noT merely The maTTer oT piTch, buT The abiliTy To express The TinesT shades oT emoTions, To make The simplesT words vibranT wiTh Teeling. The acTor musT learn To be masTer oT his own body. There is no place on The sTage Tor poor posTure, Tor awkward movemenT, Tor an ungainly walk. Every moTion oT The body musT suggesT grace and ease, a compleTe absorpTion oT The acTiviTy oT The chars acTer porTrayed, The acTor musT undersTand peof ple, he musT be a sTudenT oT phsychology, and he musT develop an imaginaTion else he cannoT hope To creaTe Tor an audience The characTer which The auThor oT The play meanT The audience To see. However Tine his inTerpreTaTion wiTh his body and his voice, iT The acTor cannoT be undersTood he has Tailed. T-Te musT masTer The ar'T oT speaking clearly and disTincTly, as well as wiTh Teeling. Perhaps The greaTesT beneTiT To The acTor as a social being is his abiliTy To work wiTh oThers. An acTor who consciously Tries To sTeal scenes, who seeks To i sTar , will mar The uniTy oT The play. T-le musT learn ThaT a small parT well done is Tar more commendable Than a mediocre perTorm- ance in a large parT.
