Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV THE ART OF ACTING Is Acting a Dependent, Imitative Art, or Is It Creative?--Two Insignificant Plays, Rip Van Winkle and The Music Master, Which Actors Made Enormous Successes--The Folly of Comparing the Art of the Actor with That of the Poet or Painter--When a Play Is a Play--Why the Actor's Work Is Creative and Not Imitative--The Place of the Actor's Art. IFEEL that before I conclude these observations I should say a word in defense of the actor's art. I believe in many quarters the actor is sadly misunderstood. He is likely to be regarded patronizingly by the members of other arts; he is told that his art is an imitative one as contrasted with that of the painter and the writer, which are creative. By many, even in this day, the actor is regarded as a troubadour or vagabond as he was in old English times. It is strange that that prejudice should cling to the actor. I believe--and of course I know there are many who agree--that the art of the actor is quite as dignified, quite as "creative," and perhaps even more vital and potent than any other of the fine arts. But by many we are considered disciples of a " minor " art because it is pointed out that we must depend upon the dramatic author for our material; that we merely "imitate" or reproduce his conceptions. Anyone who knows the real story of a play's precarious journey to public favor, knows how often that process is reversed: knows how often the playwright relies on the art of the actor to endow his characters with life, knows how often a play, in the hands of the actors, grows far beyond the conception of the author. In my own case I have often been compelled to play characters which have been quite impossible and absurd as the author conceived them. I have felt that I...

This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mrs. Fiske, Her Views on Actors, Acting, and the Problems of Production It was all very well for Grant Allen in his day to say that Hea'a'a was nothing more or less than the girl we take down to dinner in London nineteen times out of twenty. Cer tainly she was something more this time, for Tess of Ike d'urbervz'lles - not Hardy's Tess, perhaps, but ours - sat there, too. I was at supper with Hea'a'a and Tess and Becky Sharp, but surely that was Becky's red hair that could be glimpsed in the shadow of the big hat and voluminous veil. That erect figure, vital, alert, indefatigable, eloquently animate, surely that was Becky. There was something of Becky, also, in the mutinous, gleaming humor.

Book excerpt: Respect for Acting "This fascinating and detailed book about acting is Miss Hagen's credo, the accumulated wisdom of her years spent in intimate communion with her art. It is at once the voicing of her exacting standards for herself and those she [taught], and an explanation of the means to the end." --Publishers Weekly "Hagen adds to the large corpus of titles on acting with vivid dicta drawn from experience, skill, and a sense of personal and professional worth. Her principal asset in this treatment is her truly significant imagination. Her 'object exercises' display a wealth of detail with which to stimulate the student preparing a scene for presentation." --Library Journal "Uta Hagen's Respect for Acting . . . is a relatively small book. But within it, Miss Hagen tells the young actor about as much as can be conveyed in print of his craft." --Los Angeles Times "There are almost no American actors uninfluenced by Uta Hagen." --Fritz Weaver "This is a textbook for aspiring actors, but working thespians can profit much by it. Anyone with just a casual interest in the theater should also enjoy its behind-the-scenes flavor." --King Features Syndicate
