And sometimes with no other counsel than this, from people who really know nothing about the matter, the girl struggles to enter the theatrical world, only to find that her talent, sufficient to excite admiring comment among her friends, has proved inadequate to make her a worth-while actress. "Why don't you study art?" say the friends of another girl; or, "You like to take care of sick people.
They were really very worth-while ancestors, not as solid and substantial perhaps as those whose portraits hung in the Meredith house on Main Street in Nantucket, but none the less aristocratic, with a bit of dare-devil about the men, and a hint of frivolity about the women with a pink coat here and a black patch there, with the sheen of satin and the sparkle of jewels a Cavalier crowd, with the greatest ancestor of all in his curly wig and his sweeping plumes.
If you could get a big man, enthusiastic over a big cause, in conflict with big forces, and bring in a lot of worth-while people to back him up, and then bring the whole thing to some big conclusion, you would have a novel that would be as real as the biographies I have been reading, and as interesting. I think it would be worth trying. Respectfully yours,
And I'm going on being alive, forever and ever! Oh, those awful drums! They look like dead eyes in those dim corners. Tumpitum-tump! Tumpitum-tump!" she cried, linking her arm in his. "What a gorgeous view! Just what I'm going to do when my ship comes in live in a loft. I really believe I could write up here I mean worth-while things I could enjoy writing and sell."
It was a night-and-day strain for all hands watching out for raiders, watching out for U-boats, watching out for everything, and grabbing snatches of sleep when they could. Arriving at their naval base, every skipper of the little fleet felt pretty well used up. But every worth-while skipper thinks first of his men.
The Montague girl would see that the leading man who had done so much to insure the success of Baird's striving for the worth-while drama was not unforgetful of her favours and continuous solicitude. He thought first of a ring, but across the blank brick wall of the jewellery shop he elected to patronize was an enormous sign in white: The House of Lucky Wedding Rings.
Just as the Action Picture has its photographic basis or fundamental metaphor in the long chase down the highway, so the Intimate Film has its photographic basis in the fact that any photoplay interior has a very small ground plan, and the cosiest of enclosing walls. Many a worth-while scene is acted out in a space no bigger than that which is occupied by an office boy's stool and hat.
A good book, she declared, ought to be read aloud, and discussed even during its perusal. And thus Janet, after an elementary and decidedly unique introduction to worth-while literature in the hospital, was suddenly plunged into the vortex of modern thought.
He, whom so many women had loved women of position, of fame for beauty, of social distinction or distinction as singers, players women of society and women of talent all kinds of worth-while women they had cared, had run after him, had given freely all he had asked and more. And this girl nobody at all she had nothing for him.
"My dear Richard," said I, "how CAN you say about nothing particular?" "I don't mean absolutely that," he returned. "I mean that it MAY be nothing particular because I may never want it." Both Ada and I urged, in reply, not only that it was decidedly worth-while to undo what had been done, but that it must be undone. I then asked Richard whether he had thought of any more congenial pursuit.
