To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus one finds that the first and clearest memory actors have of Mr.
Barrett is of his irascible temper and a certain air of su- periority, not of his erudition, of the high position he won socially as well as artistically, of the almost Titanic struggle of his young manhood with adverse circum- stances.
Nor does that imply the slightest malice on theit part.
Actors, as a family trait, have a touch of childishness about them which they come by honestly enough. We all know the farther we get fro...m infancy the weaker the imagination grows. Now it is imagination that makes the man an actor, so it is not wonderful if with the pow- erful creative fancy of childhood he should also retain a touch of its petulance and self-consciousness. Thus to many actors Mr. Barrett's greatness is lost sight of in the memory of some dogmatic utterance or sharp reproval that wounded self-love.
