Letter from G. Bernard Shaw to George C. Goch advising him to alter his character if he wants to succeed as an actor,
1928 Apr. 3.
| In Collection: | Letters from George Bernard Shaw to various persons |
|---|---|
| Description: | Goch intends to join a group relating to the British Film Industry only to try to take it over and Shaw advises him that "if you really have any talent in acting, simulate the gullibility and respect for your elders of a harmless young man...and conceal the probability that if they let you in you will force them out. You are a bumptious and intolerant young man, and possibly a very able one; and you have the valuable but unattractive quality of untouchable obstinacy". |
