' On Acting'
E. MARTIN BROWNE
This talk on acting is probably the most vital of the series so far as the individual amateur player is concerned. Although the art of acting cannot be finally reduced to a set of rules, there is a well-defined technique that must be acquired. This evening, E. Martin Browne will outline some of the points that all amateurs should study: tempo and inflection, 'jumping on cues', voice control, natural movements, and repose, 'waiting' for laughs, and last, but not least, learning their lines because they cannot begin to act until they are letter perfect. Martin Browne will explain how an actor should approach his part, and how he may best benefit by rehearsing his lines at home.
