FACE THE FOOTLIGHTS: Practical Guide to Acting

by E.B. (Zeke) Colvan ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 5, 1939

Practical advice, exercises, and information, based on the theory that acting can be learned. Starts with a quizzing on health, financial situation, imagination, self-criticism, carriage, ability in working with people, he goes on to instruction in stage locations, crosses, entrances and exits; on the handling of posture and motion; on breath, voice, diction; on mental mechanics for thought and emotions; on studying a part, makeup, character work, etc. He skirts the matter of warning on difficulties about getting into the field, but covers the technical ground that a young actor gets in dramatic school. Should be of interest to Little Theatre groups, teachers and coaches.
