He staged all these plays himself, sufficiently sumptuously and with in- telligent feeli...ng for their different atmos- pheres and demands. To present them all he OUR LEADING ACTOR 185 had to train and maintain a large company, at considerable expense. That Mr. Sothern's acting is without faults or that it realizes to the full his own or his critics' ideal nobody will maintain. He still tends always to drag his tempo. He still falls into his old tricks now and then of recurring over-emphasis, produc- ing an artificial and monotonous effect. He still lacks sometimes what seems almost a phys- ical vitality to master a climax or sweep a speech up to the point of emotional discharge.
