Consider this: if you were alive a hundred years ago, your life would have been different. Your career path would be chosen for you even before you were born and your future would be charted out for you by your parents. You would have little or no say in the matter, and believe it or not, you could do nothing about it! Now you live in a world where your options ... more...

There is only one drawback to the pleasurable life of the movie actor or actress. They draw big salaries ; they get their names in the papers and are deluged with "fan" letters to such an extent that special postal departments are installed in their offices; the work is interesting and the hours comparatively short. But, alas, they have to have a lot of clothes. To be sure, the buying of clothes is a most pleasurable experience to all women and to many men. And, forsooth, if they... more...

On the legitimate stage nearly every actor at one time or another writes a play. In the same way, in the movies nearly every actor tries his hand at scenario writing. In fact, many of the most successful playwrights and photodramatists have had stage or screen experience as actors. For this reason, although this series is designed more for those who wish to act than for those who wish to write and although we have already one book on "How to Write Photoplays" nevertheless, a chapter on s... more...

"But they have no brains !" someone is sure to say. That sort of thing is rather cheap cynicism. As a matter of fact, they have plenty of brains, but of their own peculiar sort. A movie actor, like any other type of artist, is an emotional, temperamental crea- ture; but the problem which worries him the most is one of intellect rather than emotion; in short, just how to control the reactions inside that discredited gray matter of his. Every movie actor and you, too, if you enter ... more...

This article does not deal so much with how to act in a picture as how to act in a studio. Motion picture people live, more or less, in a world of their own. It is a world which may seem a bit topsy turvy to the outsider, with its own peculiar customs, and a greater freedom from restraint than is customary in the conventional world outside. Examined a bit closer, these outlandish ideas appear to be the very same ones which are always associated with artists a bohemian spirit which is the same wh... more...

Although most women use cosmetics in their everyday life, they are lamentably ignorant of the principles of make-up. For example, not one woman in a hundred knows that she should never rouge her face until she has put on her hat, since the shadow and line of the hat changes the whole color and composition of her face. The average man's knowledge of the subject is limited to the use of powder after shaving. And yet thousands of men and women secure work in the mob and ensemble scenes... more...

Probably the number of people who have not at one time or another wondered in a sneaking sort of way if they wouldn't look pretty well on the screen is limited to the aborigines of Africa. Needless to say, both beauty and character are the characteristics in demand in the films, as everywhere else. The curious fact is that faces which in real life possess great beauty or deep character, frequently fail to carry this across to the camera. The chief reason for this lies in the fact th... more...

In New York resides a dramatic critic, now on the staff of a great newspaper, who has his own ideas about movie acting. The idea in question is that there is no such thing as movie acting and the gentleman carries it out by refusing to allow the word "acting" to be printed in any of the notices and reviews in his newspaper. When he wishes to convey the thought that such and such a star acted in such and such a picture he says, "Miss So-and-So posed before the camera in the motion Pic... more...
