Acted or played with style (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
art deco
'style' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'acted or played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates an anagram.
'acted'+'or'='actedor'
'actedor' anagrammed gives 'ART DECO'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for art deco that I've seen before include "Geometric style of ornamentation" , "pre-war style" , "1920s and 1930s style of ornamentation" , "1920s and 30s style of art and architecture" , "Do trace (anag) - style of the 1920s and 1930s" .)
