[Merton of the Movies by Harry Leon Wilson]@TWC D-Link bookMerton of the Movies CHAPTER IV 18/32
But I must remember that work and struggle and sacrifice are necessary to give the public something better and finer and become a good screen actor.
So no more at present, from your old friend, and address Clifford Armytage at above number, as I am going by my stage name, though the lady at the Holden lot said she liked my old name better and called me that, and it sounded pretty good, as I have not got used to the stage name yet. He felt better after this chat with his old friend, and the following morning he pressed a suit in the Patterson kitchen and resumed his vigil outside the gate.
But now from time to time, at least twice a day, he could break the monotony of this by a call at the little window. Sometimes the woman beyond it would be engrossed with the telephone and would merely look at him to shake her head.
At others, the telephone being still, she would engage him in friendly talk.
She seemed to like him as an occasional caller, but she remained smilingly skeptical about his immediate success in the pictures.
