You know, the period of World War I and the Roaring 

Twenties were really just about the same as today. 

You worked, and you made a living if you could, 

and you tired to make the best of things. 

For an actor or a dancer, it was no different 

then than today. It was a struggle.

My father was totally Irish, and so I went to Ireland once. 

I found it to be very much like New York, 

for it was a beautiful country, and both the women 

and men were good-looking.

I got a part as a chorus girl in a show called 

Every Sailor and I had fun doing it. 

Mother didn't really approve of it, though.

Learn your lines, find your mark, 

look 'em in the eye and tell 'em the truth.
