She wore blue and whib? calico dresses an*! slept in one of a long row of iron beds. Six years later, she decided to take a flyer in higher-education; so^he enrolled as a .student in StephensriW- lege at Columbia, Missouri. Money? She didn’t have any money. As I have already said, she wore the cast off clothes that the other girls gave her and she worked as a.waitress in order to get .board and room. Some of the girls who snubbed and high- hatted her in those days because she had to work as a waitress now say: “Joan (’’rawford? Oh, yes, I know her well. We are very dear friends. We used to go to college together.” Her burning ambition then was to become a dancer. So when she waa offered a dincing with a road show for twenty dollars a week, she grabbed it, and felt she was tiptoe ing on the edge of paradise. Two weeks later, the show closed. There was no money to pay salaries, and she was left broke and stranded in a strange town. Did that kill her determination to go on the stage? Never! She borrow ed money, got back to Kan.sas City, worked, saved her pennies, and board ed a Santa Fe train one morning headed for Chicago. After paying for her ticket she had only two dollars T^t.
