TO
Regrets that America Gives No Rec
ognltlon to Her Artists
"There is nothing real to the stage.
It only exists in the imagination of the
audience. A play is only real insofar
as the audience sees it." This, state
ment was made to a small audience at
the special convocation held at the
Temple theatre yosterday by Charles
D. Coburn, the well known actor.
Mr. Coburn went on to speak of the
national theatres of France and the
spirit in which they were received by
the people. They are more than self
supporting and have never been com
pelled to touch the appropriation
which the French government provides
for their support. The people seek
the theatres rather than the theatres
seeking the people. .
"We know and live only by exper
ience," Mr. Coburn said. "The laws of
play writing are as exact as those
which govern the artist when he sets
about painting a picture. If I know the
story of a play I can follow it out
by the movement of the action. Thej
people are developing a finer sense
of art. Modern musical productions
public libraries, art galleries and the
universities are important factors in
developing this sense.
Regrets Announcement
"It is with deep regret I note the
announcement of retirement from ac
tive service of Forbes-Robertson, but
it is no doubt a great satisfaction to
that actor that his country has dec
orated him for his fine contributions to
her stage, by conferring upon him the
title of 'Sir Knight,' a title which in
itself is nothing, but it is a fine thing
as it represents a national honor, an
emblem of recognition which England
bestows upon her subjects who have,
through service and marked ability,
become public benefactors. What a
pity America has no national form of
recognition for her artists. However,
it Is not of titles but of Forbes-Robertson
actor that I am pleased to
speak.
"I am now marking the milestones
of my life by the performances I
have witnessed of fine acting, and Sir
Johnston Forbes-Robertson's 'Hamlet
Is the milestone I am now passing.
Though this actor is retiring and I
may never see him again, I shall never
frget his superb, scholarly rendering of
that darling of the Bard of Avon the
Prince of Denmark he was indeed the
Prince of Denmark to the fullest ex
tent of my imagination. No reading
or rereading of the text can possibly
bring out the elements of life that
Shakespeare has embodied in the per
sonality of 'Hamlet'; it requires the
skilled Interpretation by the actor to
fulfill this function for us.
