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.
