The art of mime is purely visual, never aural, In a society that is massaged to death by the vocal media of radio and irlevision, where sponsor after sponsor banters the merits of his product with a airily slogan and jingle, Marceau drives hmne his message visually; it is as close to telepathy as you can come without having the real thing. Among the many sketches at his beck and call, the humorous side of Marceau presents us with the frustrations of a paper hanger in The Bill Poster, the •-henanigans of a craps shooter turned sore-loser in The Dice Rollers, a statue's exaggerated mockery of the people who frequent The Public Garden, and the hilarious antics of the character, Bip. The serious side of Marceau conveys pathos in Mich scenes as The Dress, where a man laments his lost love, and The Mask VII/,( r, where a man falls into the predicament of having a supercilious grin ''•'•''-'• upon his face without the man having the capacity to unfreeze the grin unless he exerts superhuman strength, but this only produces a sorrowful effect.
