Question . 184

Directions for Question: Arrange sentences A, B, C, and D between sentences 1 and 6 to form a logical sequence of the six sentences.

1. It is often said that good actors can get out of play more than the author has put into it.

A. A good actor, bringing to a part his own talent, often gives it a value that the layman on reading the play had not seen in it, but at the utmost, he can do no more than reaching the ideal that the author has seen in his mind’s eye.

B. In all my plays I have been fortunate enough to have some of the parts acted as I wanted, but in none have I had all the parts so acted.

C. That is not true.

D. He has to be an actor of address to do this; for the most part, the author has to be satisfied with an approximation of the performance he visualized.

6. is so obviously inevitable, for the actor who is suited to a certain role may very well be engaged and you have to put up with the second or third best because there is no help for it.
