STAR SEES DANGER
In FAKE SCHOOLS
: Courses in Acting Misrepresent the
Motion Picture Industry, Says
Beatriz Michelena.
NO SHORT CUT TO SUCCESS

Beatriz Michelena, the heroine OF "The
Unwritten Law" Salvation Nell" "sa-
lomy Jane" and other features, advocates
concerted action on the part OF the le-
Ultimate motion picture Authorities
against the fake schools of motion picture
acting which have sprung up throughout
the country.
These schools" declares Miss Niche
lena, are doing infinitely more harm
than most OF us think. Their real per-
nicious influence is not to be measured
by the dollars they take away from their
Victimized pupils What Is to be far
more regretted and condemned is the
false impression they create through
their advertisements and literature as to
conditions in the motion-picture profess
sion.
No Short Cut TO StardOm.
ut is largely due to them that the inn
preston that there is great demand
for pretty-faced girls as picture
actresses, and that, with no other requI-
site than this pretty face and a short
course of instruction, one may find inn
mediate employment at a fabulous salary
We all know that there is this mis-
conception among men and that in
AuiiiStdbi0 BHtb DeueNe LnaL nONlOn-plC-
lures are a short cut to easy money.
We also know just how far they are
mistaken in this. They will all be dis
illusionized. but often too late Relying
on the rosy expectations engendered in
the first instance by the fake schools
and their criminal publicity. they have
started ont to become picture actresses
without adequate equipment In either
courage or talent They have broken
away from previous moorings, and when
the shock Of disappointment comes. they
often have no place to turn. Shattered
hopes means a moral strain that few
girls are equal to.
Fakes should he Exposed.
Il believe that every devise should be
used to show these fake schools in their
true light. The public should be made
to know that they are operated by men
who have not the ability to direct or act
in pictures. but have cunning enough to
practice upon the gulIibility Of victims
carried away with the desire to act and
see oneself ionized on the screen"
