Excerpt from "Plays and Players" Interview with Robert G. Ingersoll New York Dramatic Mirror, December 26, 1891

Question: What place does the theatre hold among the arts?

Answer: Nearly all the arts unite in the theatre, and it is the result of the best, the highest, the most artistic, that man can do. In the first place, there must be the dramatic poet. Dramatic poetry is the subtlest, profoundest, the most intellectual, the most passionate and artistic of all. Then the stage must be prepared, and there is work for the architect, the painter, and sculptor. Then the actors appear, and they must be gifted with imagination, with a high order of intelligence; they must have sympathies quick and deep, natures capable of the greatest emotion, dominated by passion. They must have impressive presence, and all that is manly should meet and unite in the actor; all that is womanly, tender, intense and admirable should be lavishly bestowed on the actress. In addition to all this, actors should have the art of being natural.

Read this sentence from the interview.

"When I say that an actor is natural, I mean that he appears to act in accordance with his ideal, in accordance with his nature, and that he is not an imitator or a copyist—that he is not made up of shreds and patches taken from others, but that all he does flows from interior fountains and is consistent with his own nature, all having in a marked degree the highest characteristics of the man."

How does the phrase "flows from interior fountains" affect the interview?

A. It suggests that actors have more to give of themselves than other people do.
B. It suggests that actors include a part of their own essence in the roles they play.
C. It suggests that actors have an abundance of emotions that they must release.
D. It suggests that actors try their hardest to create believable characters.
