Excerpt from Monologues and Plays: Designed for the Platform Entertainer, the Reader and the TeacherMore often without the aid of make up, than with it, the monologist must present to his audience a true picture of the character he is representing. If he is successful then he is worthy of the name of Platform Artist.His task is more difficult than that of the actor as he is denied the stage properties and supporting cast which help the actor to create the illusion. It is quite permissible to dress in suitable costume and adds much to the effect, but in doing so, never give your own intro duction, it must be given by some one else or printed on the program, as it is a breach of art, while in costume, to be other than the character impersonated.A monologue is a one sided conversation. To be a good conversationalist one must be a good listener. Pauses or listening places test the skill of the entertainer. The pauses must not be mere blanks but in them the performer must show by expression and pantomime that which is being said by the other person.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
