   Makes sense to me; back then they were all drawn from the stage, & were used to   
   "projecting" while speaking their lines.   
      
   Now, though, everyone's grown up & learned acting with mic-driven sound stages;   
   they7 ofgten have a terrible time transferring to doing stage plays.    
      
   Some, they say, excel at both, like Patrick Stewart.
