Show Stairs About as Good as Mountain Climbing "Only optimism can succeed in the motion-picture business," declares Cecil Ce-cil De Mille. "The pessimist is foredoomed fore-doomed to failure. In my last picture pic-ture I had a young extra girl who, 1 think, will some day become a star. She has an amazingly buoyant outlook out-look on life. "I was talking to her for a moment mo-ment between scenes. In one breath she confided that her favorite sport was mountain climbing and In the next that she adored Hollywood. " 'But don't you miss the mountain moun-tain climbing?' I asked. 'There are no real mountains within thirty or forty miles of Hollywood." " 'But I don't need them here,' she replied with a happy smile. 'You see, I live on the fifth floor of an apartment that has no elevator, so I get all the climbing I need and the mountains nre never missed.' " |
