Screen Acting - Its Requirements and Rewards

Descripción

With the assistance and advice of Lilllan and Dorothy Gish, Colleen Moore, Mabel Ballin, Mac Murray, William S. Hart, Ruth Roland and many other distinguished motion picture players, directors, cameramen and make-up experts. Particular thanks is due Arch Reeve of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation who supplied much valuable data. Preface: It is difficult to step from behind the motion picture screen and tell those who have always sat in front of it how and why we who make pictures 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 presenting 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. When you have read this book, and see the motion picture screen through news eyes, you may lose your desire to join the company of those who act before the camera. But if your desire to follow this profession still persists, then I can only say-good luck to you!. N° de ref. del artículo 000853
