Macready the Actor
Topic : ConvictionThere is a tale told of that great English actor Macready. An eminent preacher once said to him: I wish you would explain to me something. Well, what is it? I dont know that I can explain anything to a preacher. What is the reason for the difference between you and me? You are appearing before crowds night after night with fiction, and the crowds come wherever you go. I am preaching the essential and unchangeable truth, and I am not getting any crowd at all. Macreadys answer was this: This is quite simple. I can tell you the difference between us. I present my fiction as though it were truth; you present your truth as though it were fiction.
