Art of Making up Actors Faces — A Veteran Be- moauns Its Decay. How Young Faces are Made to Look 014 or to Resemble Those of the Dead Bullding up Noses and Chins. New York Sun A man, whowe face was creasod by innumerablo expressive lines, lonned with stndied negligence against a post on Union Square and gazod at passers- by with an air of legitimate and well- bred interest. He had a strikingly “‘professional” look and wore his clothes, which were ultra-fashionable in 77, with a jaunty carelessness that agnored the whitened reams and denied the shining back. His tall sk hat was tipped at an angle over his oyes. He looked contented and loquacious, and very much like an actor. Pres- ently, when an acquaintance passed he coughed, nodded rapidly, looked ex tremely waggish and sad: “‘Ah, therc! What are you up to, you raccall How d’ do?” ““Why, hullo, Billy! When did you get in?” “Just now, my boy.” “How was the walking?” “‘Ah, there, you rascal!” and Billy burst into a broad and meaning smile, and gently shook his head. His friend went on, and he turned to the repor- ter and said, in a tull, round, oratori- cal tone : “‘Would you oblige me with a light, sir? Thank you. The boys will have their little jokes, you know—the ras- cals. The obvious meaning from his question was that I had walked in. Our combination went to pieces in Ohio, but we all got here comtortably, thogh we left many other wrocks be- hind, The number ot . busted com- paniés between here and the one-night | 8 towns of Onio would draw tears from a cast-iron Shylock. However, I'm back, and I tell you, sir, it does me ood to 1,0k at Broadway again.” “Yes; the spring fashions make it bright. 4 "It isn't the faahion; its the faces. To my mind it is the most nbuorbmg study in the world—that of men’s faces. You see, the thing has more intercst for me than for the run of men even 1 my profession, because I'm an enthusiast in a certain sense. I belong to the time when the study and make-up of faces was mighty im- portant in the theatrical line. It wasn’t such a long time ago, erther; but the times have changed since then, until now there seems to be almoat no effort at all to make up and look your part. I neversaw this mors amazing- ly apparent than when I got in last night. I wentin to ‘Odette’ at Daly’e, and saw Harry Pitt, who ia an actor of experience, slap the audience, so to speak, square in the face. Iu the firat act heis the injured husband and father, and looks about forty-two years" old. By the time the next act is reached fifteen years are supposed to have elapsed, which were full of bit- terness and torture to him; but he comes bouncing on the stage, looking about forty, instead of fifty-seven years old. Of course all the unities are jarred, and the piece mtmmcu]lry injured, and nmgly because he wasn’t made up. The vice is spreading. Ac- tors won't disguise their good looks for a part. Does John McCullough'’s Vir- ginius look like an aged Romuu father? Noj; he looks like what he is, & mag- mflcnntly matured man in the prime of life. Lester Wallack never makes up or shaves cff his darling moustache, no matter what the part, and Tearle is always Tearle.” *“It must be a great deal of trouble to make up everv night.” *‘Ah, but, me boy, look at the re- sult! God wn to the Thalia Theatre, whero they still‘do it, and if only five years have olaped belween the acts, see how it is shown on every face on the stage.” *It is difficult to make up well, is it not?” “‘Well, no,” said the actor, lighting a fresh cigar and assuming a more confideatiul pose; ‘‘the rules are sim- ple enough, and with a little practice, almdst any amatenr could learn to make-up artistically if he has any eye for effect. Some parts, like Romeo, Charles Surface, lduey Darroll and Claude Delmotte, requires very little make-up for nyoungnnd good-looking actor. The face and neck should be thoroughly covered with white pow- der, and the cheek bones and chin lightly touched with rouge, which should not be too red. Then, as the lover ought to loock handsome, he should draw a fine black line under his lower eyelashes with a' camel hair brush and burnt amber. This makes the eyes brilliant, I'm sure it isn't much trouble tc make up that way.” “Other characters are harder, though,” ©Oh, immeasurably so, But to make & maturcr man, like Cavsio, Tago, Mercutio, John Mildmay, or Hawksley, it requires only a littlo more work. After the actor has laid on the powder and rouged his face pretty heavliy—he must take his brush and limber and trace sowe lines from the outer corners of his eyes, and other lines down toward the corners of the mouth from the nose. In short, he must make the crow's feet that are visible in all men who have lived over thirty years in this tancalizing world of ours, Then the chin shou!d be touched with a little blue powder, which makes it look as if recently shaved. These precau- tions will make the most juvenile face look mature, If he has to go further, and look like old age, as in such char- acters in Lear, Virginius—for, as I said before, Virginius was an old man ~Richelieu, Sir Peter Teazle, and so on, more work is necessary, Heavy false eyebrows must be pasted on, and the e, ‘i'e hollow darkened and fairly crowded with lines, Wrinklos must be painted across the forehead, fur- rovs down the cheeks, duwnwnrd lines from the corners of tha mouth, and (very important) three or fuur heayy wrinkles painted around the neck to give it the shrivelled appear- ance common to old age. The hollow over the upper lip should be darkened, and also the hollow under the lower lip. This gives the mouth the pinched and toothless look. A little powdered antimony on the cheeks es them look fallen in and Ahrunhon Then tone the face down with a delicate coating of pearl powder and you'll have ns old a looking man a.yo.,d( ocare to see.” “How does it all feel?” ‘At first your face feels ll;zMem‘l | = and the muscles don’t play easy, but after a fow grimaces it comes all right {It's a great relief to get it o 1! how ever, after three hours' work.’ “l¢ must cause rather mournful forecasta when & man looks on his own face m-de up for the age of say eighty yearai” “‘Not so bad as when he makes up for a corpse, however. I'll never for got the first glance I had at my face after it had been made up for Gaston's death scene, when ylnvmu the ‘Man in the Iron Mask’ in '62. Tt positive- ly appallod me, #ir, and I Iy awake all that night thinking of it, and dreamed of my-oll in a coftin for a month afterwards.” “How is it done!" “Well, 1t varies slightly. You see such clmrl-‘t('l'l as Lear, Virginiue, Wernor and Bevorly are before the audience some time before they actu- ally die, and therefore their faces can't bs made so very corpse like; but latthias, in ‘The Bells,’ Louis XI,, Gaston and Danny Man are discover- ed dying when the scene opens or ars brought in dead, so that their faces can be made extreme. For the last saries the fice and neek should be spread with prepared white, and afterward touched up with Datch pink to give ita livid hue in place. Then put a deep shading ot powdered antimony under the eye- brows and well into the hollow of the «ye, on the cheeks, throatand temples. This is very effective, as it gives the face that dreadfully eunken appear- aneo as in death. The sides of the nose and over the upper lip shou!d also be darkened and the lips powder- ed blue. Then the face will look about as dead as it would threo hours after a real death.” ‘‘In the make up of grotesquoe faces do they use false noses and chins?” “Very rarely. Usually the method is to stick some wool on the nose with um and mould it in whatever shape you will; then powder and paint it as you would the natural noso for gro- tesque or comedy parts. Paste is put on with gum, instead of wool, some- times, Clowns have to encase them- selves fairly with whiting, and they find this troable enough without build- iog up noses or cheeks. Grotesque | artists have to work hard with their faces as a rule, but they often are re- paid by diecovering neat points. Many of our best Du‘ch and Irish comedians owe their first lift to a| lucky made-up.” “I suppose there are types for flm ropresentation of different nationali- ties?” “‘Well, a gentleman is ususlly made up the same, no matter where he may be supposed to belong, but the carica- ture ia usually one of the well-known make-ups. A Frerchman has to be powdered with dark rouge, and has his eyebrows blackened with Indian ink. All dark characters, as mulat- toes, creoles, Spaniards and so on, are done with whiting and dark rouge, with plenty of burnt cork and um- ber.” “Is much work necessary on the hands?” “In witches it is of great impor- tance that the hands and arms should be ekinny and bony. This is vsuall done by a liberal powdering of Dnle{ piok, and painting in between the knuckles with burnt umber. Painting between the knuckles, you see, makbs them look large are bony. But this sounds a good deal like ancient history now, does it not? The art is falling into disuse, me boy, and I’ve no doubt but that the time’'s not far off when we shall have youngsters playing old men with signs on their back ruudmg, ‘Please, sir, I'm eighty years old,’ while their faces are as fresh as daisies,” “To what do you attribute this tendency?” “Laziness. The theatrical age of today is a profound wonder to me. The entire profession wants to stir. An actor plays old men now simply for a living, while he matures his plans for his contemplated starring tour. An actress does old women heavies, or juveniles, only until she can find a capitalist who will enable her to star, and none of them seem to take any pride in the minor parts, Hence they don’t take the trouble to make up artistically, and the stage is robbed of its chief charm—realism.” He buttoned his coat with great nicety, tipped his hat a trifle further forward, and, after a hearty hand- shake, left the reporter nncf strode jountily up Broadway, his shining hat bobbing with automatic regularity above the Easter bonnets, until loat to view in the crowd, Never Give Up.
