Lou London believes in A1 Jolsons theory, that a performer must be a salesman and sell his wares across the footlights. At least he gave evidence of following that theory.

Ordinarily the player who and: is deft in the matter of make-ucareful in his differentiation of outward, or physical, characteristics, is credited with versatility. But there is a higher versatility than that and of this Mr. Warfield is truly possessed.

He might, indeed, play all three roles in the same makeup without lessening the sharp distinction that he creates between the three characters. Such versatility is beyond all technique.
