Most stars are developed through
the studios or come from the stage
with a record already established for
fine work.
Any young person seeking a future
before the camera should first OF all
be convinced in his own mind that
he would be willing TO undergo hard
ship. disappointment and many vicis-
STUDIES to achieve his desires. Then
he should get an education. Moth
ing learned is wasted in the acting
profession. A man may have to in
terpret a carpenter or a locomotive
engineer, a bank president or news
boy. Thus the habit of observation
and a retentive memory are valuable
aids TO education. A college training
is not necessary but it is certainly
OF value.
The summary Of the whole thing
is embraced in this short paragraph:
If you feel the urge TO act that will
not be downed: If you are normal.

binary beauty, or good looks; If you
can make a stab at acting without
