MOVING PICTURE ACTING VII. PATIENCE, PLUCK AND PERSEVERANCE, PLUS AMBITION Extra good doses of the three P's—patience, pluck and perseverance—must be added to these qualifications, and topping it all one must possess a strong determined ambition which knows no dis- couragements. In anything you undertake— whether it be to become a successful photoplayer or to enter any other profession—let the star of hope be an instigator to the "keep on a-tryin'" habit, and when dark clouds of disappointment in- terpose 'twixt you and that star, when ambition seems in vain and you think "Oh, what's the use," tighten the screw to your courage, apply a little physical "punch" to your efforts and start again. Cling to hope! When it is lost your ambition be- gins to melt and failure is the inevitable result.
