He Comes Up Smiling is a novel written by Charles Sherman. The story revolves around the life of a young man named Jimmy Martin, who is a struggling actor in Hollywood. The book is set in the 1920s, a time when Hollywood was just starting to become the center of the film industry.Jimmy has dreams of becoming a successful actor, but he is constantly facing rejection and disappointment. He is forced to take on odd jobs to make ends meet, and he finds himself living in a dingy apartment with little money and few prospects.Despite these challenges, Jimmy remains optimistic and determined to make it big. He befriends a group of fellow struggling actors and actresses, and together they navigate the ups and downs of the Hollywood scene.As the story progresses, Jimmy's luck begins to change. He lands a small role in a movie and catches the eye of a wealthy socialite who takes an interest in him. With her help, Jimmy is able to secure more acting roles and begins to climb the ladder of success.However, as Jimmy's star rises, he begins to lose sight of the things that truly matter. He becomes arrogant and selfish, and his relationships with his friends and loved ones suffer.In the end, Jimmy must decide what is truly important to him and whether he is willing to sacrifice his integrity for fame and fortune.Overall, He Comes Up Smiling is a compelling story of ambition, friendship, and the price of success.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
