Excerpt: ...more important. Do not be slovenly with the muscles of the lips, or talk from behind shut teeth. Keep your face to the audience as a rule.

It is easy to drop them into the basket again. Small things get mislaid under bigger ones when one is dressing in a hurry; and a hero who is flustered by his moustache having fallen under the washstand well out of sight is apt to forget his part when he has found the moustache. 95 Remember that Right and Left in stage directions mean the right and left hand of the actor as he faces the audience.
