Excerpt from Pantomimes, or Wordless Poems

The real object in body training is a more perfect marriage of the soul and body. The difference between the awkward move ment and stolid faces of many persons of even pronounced intelli gence, and the graceful movements and speaking countenance of the stage artist, illustrates the contrast between mere contiguity and unity.

The discord setween soul and body, as shown in the face, is often very striking. The conversation may be bright, while the face is a blank. This provoking and painful immobility of the face may be removed by a course of special training. Miss Ma gill has thoroughly grasped the difficulty and its removal. The illustrations show how comprehensively and finely she touches the emotional gamut.
