Página 69 - But more for that in low simplicity He lends out money gratis and brings down The rate of usance here with us in Venice. If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.

Página 43 - This is a baffling paradox, and one which everyone who takes up stage work seriously is likely to meet sooner or later. As a matter of fact the natural speaking voice is of little or no use on the stage, and neither is the shout. The secret of it is that a man should so train his voice that he has the range, and the pitch that is necessary, but also the technique and the control which enable him to seem to speak naturally.
Página 8 - I do not believe that any great success in any art can be achieved without it. " I say this to the beginners in my profession, and I am sure all the associates in my art, who have honored me with their presence on this occasion, will indorse what I say in this.
Página 236 - Juliet's room by such naturalistic details as a disarranged four-posted bed, or the turning of the key of a locked door at the nurse's entrance, or Romeo's lacing his jerkin, and a dishevelled Juliet in a crepe de chine nightgown. Such details are cheap illustrations and unworthy of a true artist.
Página 134 - ... felt by the actor? It seems to me that all passion must be kept under a certain control and within the pale of art. It is also evident that to maintain this control of necessity grows more difficult as the actor gains in his power to express great passion. ...
