  A film star

  Pauline loved cinema very much and wanted to become a film star. When she was twelve she told about this her parents and friends.

  But it was not so easy. After she left school, she got into films- not as a star- she became one of the people in the crowd scenes.

  One day a man from the agency called her up and said, «There is a job for you tomorrow, Pauline. Come at eight o’clock, you’ll be a secretary. »

  Pauline reached the studio at a quarter to eight. She waited for three hours before they came to her scene. The scene was very short: the star, a famous American actor, came and stopped in front of where Pauline was sitting.

  «I want you to look at Harry when he comes in, explained the director,- «and say: Mr. Marlowe, there’s a call for you. Can you say that?»

  Pauline said that she could and did everything the director told her to do. The director was very pleased and the star smiled at her.

  «That’s great! Thank you»? said the director. Pauline was very happy that evening. Some months later she looked two seats for the premiere and went to see her film together with her boyfriend. It was a good film, but there was not Pauline in it. Her scene together with many other unimportant scenes had been cut out.
