MOVING PICTURE ACTING sonality—magnetism, a quality which every player seeks to develop to the utmost. VI. AGE No fixed rule could be made governing the age of the beginner in screenland. The profession to- day includes those of all ages—from the cradle to 60 or more. This depends almost entirely upon the individual. Every type and age of humanity is at some time or other pictured in the photoplays —babies, little children, youth, young manhood or young womanhood, middle age, and life in elderly years. So one must be guided by circumstances. Under favorable conditions, financially or otherwise, from 15 to 25 is the age when ambition is at its height, and all attention is centered on the accom- plishment of one interest, one ideal. However, cir- cumstances alter situations, and many worthy am- bitions have been checked and delayed by counter- acting influences, but finally the opportunity has come, found a welcome hand and led to success. Many of the better photoplayers, especially those portraying special character parts, such as old maids and bachelors, and elderly types of different moods, started their careers after the age of 30, many of them having had no experience whatever.
