“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience.

—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
“The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.”
