There is only one drawback to the pleasurable life of the movie actor or actress. They draw big salaries ; they get their names in the papers and are deluged with "fan" letters to such an extent that special postal departments are installed in their offices; the work is interesting and the hours comparatively short. But, alas, they have to have a lot of clothes.
To be sure, the buying of clothes is a most pleasurable experience to all women and to many men. And, forsooth Camo Antonio Garcia Jersey , if they draw big salaries, why cavil about the cost of replenishing a wardrobe every now and again? The fact is, the wardrobes are not replenished every now and again; they are constantly in a state of replenishment, and for that reason the average actor's bank account, no matter how big the salary, is also in constant need of being similarly replenished.
For every new scene is apt to require completely new gowns and suits, and Camo Derek Rivers Jersey , in the case of the actors who play the more important parts, no two suits or gowns can be worn in any two pictures or the fans will be sure to discover it' and write uncomplimentary letters to the studio.
In the case of the beginner, however, no such expenses need be met if he or she has one complete wardrobe to start with. People playing minor characters must dress for the part at their own expense, but no one notices or cares whether they wear the same clothes with which they recently graced the studio next door. If they play a part requiring a special dress or uniform the management will supply it without charge.
It is rather difficult for a newcomer to the movies to know exactly what clothes are required for their wardrobe. Therefore we are including the following comments on clothes and styles, as applied to motion picture work: Men should have at least three business suits, one of which should be light and one dark. For summer scenes Black Jordan Richards Jersey , white flannels, with a blue coat and a soft shirt not a sport shirt are required. White duck shoes complete this outfit. Tweed suits are the proper thing for wear in the country club scenes and in most pictures calling for scenes on English estates.
