Description "The Character has taken hold of the actor: the Divine Grace completes what the drama begins; for the drama in such a case is nothing else than the means which Grace uses to its ends. As Christians we interpret it and so 'The Comedian' was born, not from a mere visionary theory but from the naked facts of experience." Henri Gheon
