Summary "Stage Confidences: Talks About Players and Play Acting" by Clara Morris is a collection of reflections and advice on the theatrical profession, likely written in the early 20th century. The author, a prominent actress herself, engages directly with the aspirations and concerns of young women aspiring to enter the acting world, addressing the realities and challenges they may face. At the start of the book, Morris greets her readers—young women who admire her and seek guidance about pursuing a career in acting. She candidly shares her experiences, emphasizing the overwhelming competition and limited opportunities within the industry. Morris warns that many girls share the desire to be actresses, which complicates the chances for newcomers. She stresses the importance of having either significant resources, social connections, or exceptional beauty to secure a role. The opening portion sets a tone of honesty and realism, indicating that while acting may be a dream for many, it involves significant sacrifices and challenges that must be carefully considered.
