<font
face="Arial">Acting
is
such
an
over-crowded
profession
that
the
only
advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is
"Don't!" But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he
must
act,
although
the
chances
of
his
becoming
famous
are
slim.
The
normal
way
to
begin
is
to
go
to
a
drama
school.
Usually
only
students
who
show
promise
and
talent
are
accepted,
and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a
theatrical company (
剧团
), usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing
everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small
parts. It is very hard
work indeed,
the
hours are long and the
salary is tiny.<br />Of
course,
some
people
have
remarkable
chances
which
lead
to
fame
and
success
without
this
long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working
in
a
bicycle
factory.
A
film
producer
happened
to
catch
sight
of
her
one
morning
waiting
at
a
bus
stop,
as
he
drove
past
in
his
car.
He
stopped
and
got
out
to
speak
to
the
girl.
He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he
was
joking.
Then
she
got
angry
and
said
she
would
call
the
police.
It
took
the
producer
twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And
within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous
actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!<br /></font>
