"You should go to the movies then. The one I saw the other day had the loveliest voice. Oh, I'd love to go to Arizona." "And do people go around shooting all the time?" asked Bet. "Do tell us about it." "Of course they don't shoot all the time. But there's nothing a cowboy likes better than to hear the noise of a gun, I do believe." "And are you a cowgirl?" asked Joy.
You can paint soul but you can't photograph it that's the point. The movies have put imagination to death. We have to compete. You can't see a soul without imagination or some sort of madness and the good people who want imagination in their novels don't buy 'em. They rent or borrow.
"He gave me a small part, and then I learned that New York was really the place to go to get in the movies, so I came on, with a letter to a manager from the Boston firm. "It must have been my face that got me my first engagement, for now I know I couldn't act. But, somehow or other, I made good, and then I got this engagement with Mr. Pertell. "And that is my story.
Opposite the Clarendon Mill on the corner of East Street was a provision store with stands of fruit and vegetables encroaching on the pavement. Janet's eye was attracted by a box of olives.

"Perhaps, but suppose, just suppose we were married, and suppose the Touricar didn't go so awfully well, and we had to be poor, and couldn't go running away, but had to stick in one beastly city flat and economize! It's all very well to talk of working things out together, but think of not being able to have decent clothes, and going to the movies every night ugh!
Other things followed, for we discussed everything from cabbages to kings, and then I plumped the question at him that I had been waiting to ask from the first. "How do you like the movies as compared to the speaking drama? Come now, cross your heart and hope to die. When the night comes down and the lights go up, isn't there a blue minute now and then?" "Surest thing you know," he grinned.
