- My father was a member of a life insurance company and both he and mother frowned on my stage aspirations. To mention the stage to my mother was to bring a tragic look on her face and a sob in her voice.

My heart was broken, as our boat steamed up the Hudson and on leaving the boat I found my trunk also broken. I carried shoes, socks, ties, shirts and suits up the street in my arms, crying softly to myself for mother.
