Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Truth About the Stage This book has been written with a twofold object. Firstly to point oat the temptations and dangers which beset aspirants for histrionic fame, and to warn stage-struck youths and maidens, who wish to quit the sphere of life in which circumstances have placed them, for the perilous and precarious vocation of a player. Too many persons are, moth-like, dazzled by the artificial glitter of the stage. Theatrical life is surrounded with a halo of romance, which is rarely dispelled until the fatal step is taken and when it is too late to turn back. After twenty years´ experience in London and the provinces, I have come to the conclusion that the ephemeral glory of the stage is not worth giving the best years of one´s life to obtain. The actor has no social status, his calling does not rank with the other professions, and only the few who advance to the front are recognised beyond the confines of the theatrical world. The black sheep of the stage, sketched in the following pages, are typical of at least sixty percent, of the players of this country.
