The Idea of working in pictures was as far from my mlhdlas the thought of running for district attorney, I hid dona a little acting of a sort, and figured that I might set a bit in some Los Angeles theater. The Junfc heap I drove down was Just about dry in the tank and I had no folding money. My change went for food and a room In some little downtown hotel I have forgotten. The flivver stood in an alley and was safe enough. Nobody with a grain of sense would have stolen the rubber and there was nothing to be drained from the tank.

The car had a one-man engine that I had tinkered with until I knew every one of Us moods. It probably would have balked with anyone else who tried to run it. The Immediate problem was to find a job. I wanted to act and nothing else interested me much; I had done a little oMt up In Portland and along the Columbia River, riding the milk boats one- night stands. In the hand-net programs I was recorded as Billy Gable.

I had played the role of Eliza Goober, a negro mammy, in "When Women Rule," and they put me down as Alphonso DresssultcHse, the dying.child, in a thing called "And the Villlun still Pursued Her." You can't hold It against a guy for trying. I had come down to Lot Angeln with an Idea that It would offer a. better chance In legitimate than Portland. And right here is the spot to get It down that, without luck ill the way, nothing would have happened. Hollywood lets you call your shot, but without luck you land behind the eight ball.

That's been my experience and I can't figure It any other way. In any story of this sort, the writer runs up against some unexpected problems of memory and sequence. It isn't easy to In writing all the things that have happened in living. On top of that, there are plenty of tough breaks you'd just as soon forget. The personal pronoun bothers you constantly and If you doubt It, try to write the account or your own life sometime.

For the most part, my life has been amusing, because there was always a certain amount of fun in anything I worked at very long.
