Every year a new lesson is learned, but the one precept that never fails to be true is that a good picture will always be well received by the public… - Cecil B. DeMille

Most people never achieve stardom until they've had at least one good, serious siege of the grand passion. It doesn't hurt a career. It helps. Leatrice Joy was a smart, capable girl, she had beauty and talent and everything to make her a star. But she was marking time. Then she fell in love with John Gilbert and married him. It changed her completely. She seemed to bloom and blossom. And this new radiance showed in her work. She went right on to the top.

Who can tell what the years of the future will bring to the art of the motion picture in view of the amazing progress of the past few years.

Legend rides high with history, but truth follows a lonely trail. I've pursued verity from the museum at Cairo to the smoking tepees of the Cheyennes at Lame Deer, Montana.
