MOTION PICTURE ACTING As you pass an entrance to a shop there will most likely be other glass windows set at an angle to the street, and in them you can catch your reflection full face. Look at your feet. Do you turn them out until you're splay-footed? Or, on the contrary, are you pigeon-toed? If you are either the one or the other, quit walking that way\ You don't expect me to do more than tell you about it, do you? I can no more actuate any part of your body for you than I can articulate your words. Straighten your feet, and keep them slanted from each other, but very slightly, in the narrowest possi- ble V. And that means thinking about the problem and seeing to it that you translate that thought into action. Correcting your faults of posture and movement is not easy. But you are the only person on earth who can do it. So get busy and work at it! I assure you you'll need to work at it every time you move across your own room. This isn't something to be done once in a while, but all the time until it be- comes as natural as breathing. Remember not to be stiff and jerky in walking. Don't jiggle along, lurch from side to side, or flounce up and down. Make your gait smooth, rhythmical. 20
