"Any beginner really ambitions to succeed on stage or screen, should start immediately to get acting ex-. perience, whether it be in a tent show, Amateur theatricals or community theatre. A college course can never equal that," aaye Tone. "Ability as an actor cannot be acquired like law or other professions. In fact, I believe Academic lore has often confused motives and feelings of young people trying to become actors.

benefits of college can be obtained in almost any large club of well-informed members. A. fund of general informa- tion and esso of social, contact are even more easily acquired inolubroom at- mosphere than at a large centre of learning.
