VK^t Success hterAstoMe
Samuel Smiles and many other authors tell you how to get
to the top of the ladder. These stars tell you what it feels
like up there.
Fame and all it stands for is the Mecca of every movie star. And when they attain it, it affects them in different ways. To some it stands for the comfort and good things of life previously denied them. Others again live pretty much as they did before affluence overtook them and save their dollars against a rainy day. But these, like rainy days, are scarce in California.
" To me," avers Dorothy Devore who is starring in The Narrow Street and The Broadway Butterfly, " such success as I have achieved means just one thing. More time to devote to my one and only hobby — my work."
Dorothy who is twenty-two, is a Texas beauty and is still unwed. She is one of the latest of comedy stars to turn to drama.

p\ark-eyed Beverly Bayne, who left the screen in nineteen eighteen is one of the few movie stars who has returned to find her place in Fandom's affections .has not altered at all. " The crowning point of success to me," she tells us, " was when I married the man who always selected me to play opposite him in his movies. When my husband was chosen to play in Ben Hur, I, too, felt the call of the Kliegs, and so I, too, am back in harness again in the Age of Innocence.
Says Marie Prevost : " Because I was lucky enough to score a hit in The Marriage Circle I have been given better and better roles from that movie on. I love variety, my " Camille," in The Lover of Camille is very different from my character in Three Women. And the selfish and rather fast young wife I play in The Dark Swan is different again. So I thank my lucky stars, and" that success, that has not tied me down to one characterisation."
