| Who is the world’s greatest actor?
|
| And how did I get that way?
|
| Who made me a genius, the greatest projector
|
| Who ever wore a toupee?
|
| Who made me most miserable Hamlet
|
| The deadest Romeo who died for his bride?
|
| Who made me most awful Dr. Jekyll?
|
| And then made me Hyde?
|
| Stanislavsky!
|
| Stanislavsky of the Moskia Theater
|
| Stanislavsky, a director from the heart!
|
| I will never forget the day I first meet the great master
|
| He took me by the hand
|
| And beat my head against the wall!
|
| And in one word
|
| In one word he told me the secret
|
| Of the great Stanislavsky Method:
|
| Suffer!
|
| That’s all
|
| Suffer! |
| You must live before you give!
|
| Suffer! |
| You must ache before you make!
|
| Suffer! |
| You must think before you stink!
|
| Suffer! |
| Suffer! |
| Suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer!
|
| Suffer, and the audience suffers with you
|
| Stanislavsky! |
| Stanis…
|
| I will never forget the day
|
| They give me first part to play
|
| I’m supposed to play part of sailor
|
| But first I must suffer!
|
| What I’m going to do?
|
| I join navy, become sailor
|
| First day out, big storm!
|
| At first I was afraid I was going to die!
|
| Then I was afraid I wasn’t going to die!
|
| But I suffered!
|
| I came back to Moskva
|
| And in this part I was wow!
|
| Here is what the great critic, Georginya Sasha Vladimir Nathan say:
|
| «Just like in America, three and a half stars»
|
| So if you want career on stage
|
| You mustn’t dream of merely acting
|
| Use the Stanislavsky Method
|
| Of Mental Chiropractic
|
| Be a tree, be a sled
|
| Be a fearful spool of thread
|
| Be a storm, a piece of lace
|
| A subway train, an empty space
|
| Take it fast, take it slow
|
| Hello Moe, hello Joe
|
| I just got back from a wonderful show!
|
| Stanislavsky! |
| Stanis…
|
| I will never forget the day
|
| Louella Harper said I stink
|
| I was playing part of stable boy
|
| It was in great Russian tragedy
|
| It was beautiful
|
| Everybody died
|
| I also play part in great Chekhov comedy
|
| Everybody died
|
| But they died happy!
|
| This makes it funny
|
| But I will never forget the day of my greatest triumph
|
| I was playing part of antique mahogany bureau
|
| So convincing in the third act
|
| My drawers fell out
|
| And who is the man who loosened my screws?
|
| Who pulled me all apart?
|
| Stanislavsky!
|
| Stanislavsky of the Moskia! |
