You know, the period of World War I and the Roaring Twenties were really just about the same as today. You worked, and you made a living if you could, and you tired to make the best of things. For an actor or a dancer, it was no different then than today. It was a struggle.
你知道，第一次世界大战和咆哮的二十年代实际上和今天差不多。你工作，如果可能的话，你谋生，你努力把事情做得最好。对一个演员或舞蹈家来说，那时和今天没有什么不同。这是一场斗争。
