"I don't know if high society is different in other cities, but in Hollywood important people can't stand to be invited someplace that isn't full of other important people. They don't mind a few unfamous people being present because they make good listeners.

You see chiefly the same press agents, the same sort of interviewers, and the same picture layouts of yourself."
