Excerpt from Love in Livery: An Original Farce in One Act It has been said, and indeed it is generally conceded, that acting is the only profession for which no previous initiation is required. None are educated for players; chance or caprice makes actors, and aptness, quick perception, and study secure their success. For the reasons assigned, a well-known writer has said that a player has never been in good odour with the merely calculating part of mankind; and, unhappily, his own irregularities too often prove a bar to his favorable reception with the enlightened and liberal. Many of the theatrical profession are wholly illiterate - a defect that, when they have dropped the cap and mask, renders them intolerable. The applause bestowed upon such Thespians, by the injudicious and "barren spectator," engenders a silly vanity that almost leads them to expect the like favor when left to the resources of their own wit. But what is awarded to the mummer is denied to the man. There is no reason why an honorable profession like the Histrionic Art should not have more followers who have received some decent qualification, if not scholastic, to illustrate the noblest triumphs of human wit. The elder Booth, Garrick, Kemble, and many more of the past, and the late J. B. Booth, Forrest, Conway, Charles Kean, Roberts, Burton, J. M. Field, Brougham, Richings and others, of the present, are deeply learned and well-read gentlemen. Mr. Clark, the subject of this sketch, though not a classical scholar, is possessed of a liberal education, and is a close student; of this gentleman we expect much. His life thus far has not been marked with any peculiar events - though his genius, talent, education, and studious habits, indicate a high round in the dramatic ladder. He was born in Baltimore, Md., in 1832. In 1851 he abandoned the mercantile business, to which he was apprenticed, and adopted the stage, making his first appearance on the boards at the Howard Athenaeum, Boston, as Frank Hardy in Paul Pry.
