Spencer Tracy In Whispering Contest
Silencer Tracy has a trick of dropping his voice to a quieter tone than that of anybody with whom he may be playing a scene. It makes him sound so sincere, as though be did not have to strain nearly as much for his effects as the other.
There is a story about bis efforts to practise his usual dodge on Walter Brennan, with whom he is at present working on “Stanley and Livingstone.” They began their scene together. After Brennan had spoken, Tracy as usual dropped his voice. Brennan, in reply, dropped his. Tracy could talk still quieter and did. Brennan’s answer wars almost inaudible.
“What is this?” interrupted Henry King, the director, “a whispering contest?”
