About this book
Young women hoping for a stage career send Clara Morris more letters than she can answer. She gathers their questions into an imagined correspondent, Miss Hope Legion, and addresses her with advice drawn from professional experience. The opening weighs ambition against an overcrowded acting profession, explaining how trained performers, money, influence and appearance affect a beginner's prospects.
These talks combine practical warnings with theatrical recollections and comic incidents. Morris discusses the public reputation of actresses, working women's difficulties and the unwanted attention that gathers around stage doors. Her chapter headings also introduce stage children, mishaps during performances and fellow actors. A childhood memory about struggling with multiplication gives her discussion an informal, personal voice.
