C 4 SOME BELIEVE THEIR Joan Crawford puts her willpower into succeeding, not in failing gracefully. Fame Is A Skyrocket. A Player Who W itches His Reputation Flaming Across The Sky Must Keep His Feet On The Ground. SOME ONE of the White House occupants (it sounds as though Abe Lincoln authored it), observed that success affects men in two ways: they either grow or swell. The observation has been dramatized in many individual careers in HoJywood. during the past year. Some performers have grown in every respect — in acting ability, in fan popularity, in modest}-. Others, and quite a few of the younger players are included in this, have swelled. Youngsters who handled failure fairly well have been flattened by success, which is a warier antagonist. I see these kids become swell-headed, pompous, conceited, snobbish, and I mourn for them because pride goes before a fall and quite a few of them have a fall waiting for them. The town of Hollywood is partly to blame. The social life is not for Paul Muni. His integrity lies in the simplicity of his acting. 18 Silver Screen
