That one sentence philosophy of Cicely Courtneidge.
This plumpish woman of 64 has seen half a century of heart-warming triumphs and heartbreaking flops Yet she is still a big star. And she still has her champagne chuckle.
But she has no illusions left. "The only thing that has kept me surviving is hard work. Sometimes you get a little luck thrown in too."
That attitude has carried her through since the first time she walked on to a
"I am still a very ambitious woman. Just as determined to be a success now as I was when I started. So that is why I have gone on and will go on."
You can hear similar stories in many West End dressing-rooms these nights ..the ruthless lack of pity for herself shown by Gladys Cooper when her last show flopped. .. and still stinging wit of Fay Compton. But Cicaly Courtneidge, than any other, epitomises the vogues for veteran vitality.

Its characters are denizens of that New York social world where gloss is the only reality and glitter the only value. The loudest sounds to be heard are the scratchings of vanity and the clashings of ego.
Knowing little about Lauren Bacall other than that she looks good after u hangover and eats heartily when she's in love, sportswriter Gregory Peck asks her to marry him after a four-day court- ship.
To the surprise of no one but the scriptwriters, it turns out that Miss Bacali and Mr Peck have nothing in common but memories of a fast honeymoon,
A disadvantage
Being a sucecastul fashion designer, her friends are a dainty, back-scratching crew where any talk of left looks would be about dress- making not boxing.
On the other hand, Gregory Peck's pals are cigar-munching, poker playing toughies who think that a salon is a fancy way of spelling a bar with cuspidors on the Door.
In the subsequent battle of concoits, Peck is at a disadvantage because he has tried to deny that he ever had an affair with sizzling dancer played with a nice comic edge by Dolares Gry:
