This is one of those short films resurrected by Turner Classic Movies. A pretty young girl wins a contest and is on her wao Hollywood. While in the sleeping car she turns out the light and waits to arrive. Well, she soon faces all the hurts and pains of trying to be a star. People are cruel. There are endless casting failures. Things get more and more intense. She is ready to give up but her grandmother's letter encourages here. After long an arduous stick-to edness, she becomes a star. Of course, you have to remember that all this happens after she turns off the light in her sleeping compartment on the train. Quite sappy, to say the least.
