Actors are born, not made. But sometimes accessories have much to do with this process of manufacture. On the Weston sands where I have been for a woo holiday, a troupe of strollers on the beach give five performances day, play without much dramatic sequence, but one which enchants hundreds of pleasure seekers, as much by its unconventional naturalness as any other reason. And oh how the players, three in all, spur on their talents for invention and capacity -for hitting off some foible or amtusoment of the day. It is now the Australian cricketers who are referred to, for they are in evidence in the country. One of the -performers isa leading Indy, a merry-hearted young fellow, rather graceful in his skirts and feminine gear. A second is the leading man, a light comedian, the third is a farcical low comedian, and the trio mako out a.play of domestic infelicity, making up mock misery.. One day. that light comedian will graduate from the sea sands to the stage of some provincial theatre, unless I greatly mistake. Who knows he may find his way even to London. Then he may tour the world, and you may applaud him in far-off Shanghai.
"Great trees from little acorns grow," or.as-a schoolboy wag once put it: "Yes, -and great aches from Little toe corns grow,"
