Making A Living In The Arts, Though,

I Have Been All Over The World. I Have Met Some Wonderful People, Lots Of Them Very Simple, Whom Nobody Will Ever Hear About, But Who Have Been Fabulous To Me.

If Somebody Asks Me To Recommend A Young, Good Singer, I Always Do.

When I Started To Sing, My Mother Would Have Me Engaged To Perform At The Women's Christian Temperance Union National Or Annual Meetings. I Would Hate Doing This Because I Wanted To Play Baseball Or Go Off Skiing.

By The Time I Was Four, I Would Walk Around The Corner And Wait At A Local Streetcar Stop, Get On The Streetcar With Somebody Who Looked Like They Could Be My Mother And Go To The End Of The Line.

My Mother Was A Wonderful, Wonderful Woman With A Lovely Voice Who Hated Housework, Hated Cooking Even More And Loved Her Children. She Was Always Arranging Church Activities Such As A Bazaar.
