“Although he is able to call upon any or all of these varied gifts at will, he is not concerned with any one of them to the exclusion of the others, nor is he interested in any one of them for its own sake. These talents are only the tool of his trade. His real calling is something quite different. He is an artist of occasions.”
-Robert Edmond Jones, The Dramatic Imagination
