Make the summary of the following passange and give it a suitable title :


Acting is a profession notoriously addicted to superstition and members of most theatre companies believe it to be unlucky to have candles on stage, or in the dressing room, and equally unlucky to look in a mirror over the shoulder of another. No actor in his senses would ever kick a cat, for it is a sign of good fortune to have one around the theatre. But for a cat to run across the stage during a performance is a certain indication of misfortune to follow. Rehearsals, too , have their special superstitions, and as perfect ones are thought to prejudice the success of the first right, the last line of the dialogue or the last bar of music if often left unsaid or un-played just for luck. Many actors believe that real flowers on stage are unlucky and prefer imitations. Peacock feathers on any representations of a peacock on stage are to be avoided at all costs, but should an actor`s shoes squeak as he steps on stage he can count upon a good reception.

DELUSIONS OF THEATER ACTORS

Actors of theater companies are delusive to an unbelievable extent that they regard every aspect of their surroundings with some false convictions. Weird imaginations deeply engraved upon their every act. For them success in acting is not related to their hard work and performance but it is totally related to fortune in terms of their false notions. (57 words)
