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.

we habitually sell them off us in voice, appearance, and manner. Yes, every one of us is a salesman. . . . How's business? It is equally and eternally true that, "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players. . . ." We play the roles in which we cast ourselves (or meekly allow ourselves to be cast) from the cradle to the grave. Why not make it a good performance? What I say in these talks is what I have said to the many actors I have been privileged to direct, among whom are some of the greatest stars of stage and screen, and to the young actors who are now in process of becoming the stars of the future. If I can help you to prepare yourself for the opportunity when it comes, or to avoid a few of the pitfalls along the way, then I shall feel I have ac- complished enough to have made the writing of these articles worth while. Your success will be my everlasting, if vicarious, triumph, and will give me the greatest happiness. I'll be seeing you—in Hollywood! vn
