Acting by Richard Boleslavsky
Acting - The First Six Lessons is a collection of essays by Richard Boleslavsky. Written in the form of a series of dialogues, these lessons aim to inform and instruct the budding actor on some of the basic principles of acting and learning to act. A novel approach to teaching acting techniques, this volume is highly recommended for novices and young actors or actresses looking to hone their abilities. Richard Boleslavsky (1889 - 1937) was a Polish theatre director, actor and teacher. Other notable works by this author include: The Way of the Lancer (1932), Lances Down (1932), and New Features in Acting (1935).

Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

Richard Boleslavsky was a member of the Moscow Art Theater and cofounder of the American Laboratory Theater School, which trained Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler among other actors and teachers, playing an important role in bringing Stanislavsky's techniques to America. Although he directed Hollywood films in the 1930s and 1940s, his enduring work is contained in this book.
