Abstract

From the point of view of the legitimate stage, television seems to be the ultimate assault of the machine Upon the stage of the living actor. Whether we view the new form in a practical or a theoretical light, the process which commenced with the invention of the motion picture appears to be complete; the actor is torn away from his audience and is a picture image upon a tube, Yet this loss is only a repetition of the loss the actor experienced with the motion picture, and is only one factor in the' total situation. For in one kind of television performance, the so-called "live" show, the actor has regained certain advantages.
