We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

"Hotc / Did It" So it is probable that "America's Sweet- heart" has never known until now how much her picture accomplished for one poor, strug- gling writer—for the story is told here for the first time. I have told this story simply to encourage others who are trying to write for the screen. If God has given you the gift to create plots, all I can say is, "Keep at it." Let nothing de- tract you from your work. Stick to it until you reach the borders of purgatory, and then put on an asbestos suit and wade through the in- ferno. But never permit your courage and faith to weaken for a moment. That same rule can be applied to all walks of life. It is called "persistency." It eventually brings suc- cess. How often we hear the statement, "If I'd only stuck a little longer, I'd have made a fortune." It's the "sticking" quality that wins. The one who sticks is the one who succeeds, even though he has to crawl on his hands and knees. To finish—to be among those who endured—that is what counts. 106
