The
accuser of course affirms that he has exercised the
profession of an actor: the accused denies that he has
exercised the profession. The question then arises
[p. 419]
as to the meaning of the “exercise of the profession
of actor.” If he is accused under the law regarding
the seats in the theatre, the denial will proceed from
the accused; if on the other hand he is turned out
of the theatre and demands compensation for assault,
the denial will be made by the accuser.
