YOU ENTER. These are the pleasantest words in the actor’s dictionary. But
what do you do when you enter? The actor should carefully analyze the problem
and decide the exact impression which he wishes to make, both on the characters
who are already upon the scene and on the audience, for the adage about first
impressions being lasting is as true in the theater as it is in life.
(Strickland, 1956:32)
