Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Screen Acting: Its Requirements and Rewards
T is difficult to step from behind the motion pic ture screen and tell those who have always sat in front of it how and why we who make pic tures do the things we do.
It is even harder to tell those who want to become one of us, how they may do so, as it is hard, always, to put the telling of things in the place of actual experience. What can be done in this way, I feel that this book can do, for I know its authors, and am assured of their knowledge of their subject and their sincerity in pre senting it.
There is only one place where a motion picture actor can develop his art, and that is in a motion picture studio. But many a person who sees only the glamor of the work and knows nothing of the hardships it entails can learn much by reading all that he can obtain on the subject. In that way he can get an idea of whether or not he is suited to this profession.
