What reading level is The Circus, And Other Essays And Fugitive Pieces book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They will laugh at you only if you are artist enough to be knocked down humor- ously — as Chaplin is knocked down.
And, as to John Bunny's success being due to his fatness, that criticism is generally made by peo- ple who never saw "Autocrat of Flapjack Junc- tion" or "Love's Old Dream," or by rival actors.
It is true that your true clown always is quick to utilize his physical peculiarities as accessories to his acting. The jesters of Marie de Medici made fun of their own hunched backs or dwar...fed forms. John Bunny had as good a right to turn his fatness into dramatic capital as Sarah Bernhardt has to do the same thing with her slenderness. It is a principle of subjective artistic expression — the same princi- ple as that by which Heine made his little songs out of his great woes.
But the physical peculiarity alone is not enough.
