As Told I o ELEANOR HARRIS
phone I've got to admit I'm superstitious. I've guarded that old horn for many, many years now. I can't get away from thinking it's endowed with good luck for me.
This may be because I bought it with the first money I ever earned — in a pea canning factory in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. It was during summer vacation while I was going to high school. I really think it sort of guided me through my highly checkered career right into Hollywood. I began playing it in Beaver Dam with the high school orchestra. Then it took me to Chicago with a name band. Then it — and it alone — fed my mother and me in Hollywood, when I played for big movie parties, the Elks Club and the Warner Theater orchestra on Hollywood Boulevard. Eventually it took me to New York for some hit shows — and then back to Hollywood as a star.
But in between I washed cars, sold electrical appliances from door to door, worked in a department store — and starved. It was only that tired old sax that meant steaks and excitement to me. And you couldn't pay me to part with it now. I feel plenty superstitious about that sax — yet I don't call myself a superstitious sort of guy!
"What about your ring? You'll lose it if you go in the water with it!" I argued that I'd always worn it everywhere, ever since my father had given it to me as a little girl, but she insisted that I leave it in my bag on the beach. So I did.
That's all there was to it. I waded in up to my waist, a terrific undertow got me, and I was swept out way past my depth. I was going down for the third time when a lifeguard got to me, and it took four lifeguards an hour to bring me to.
Naturally, this experience etched itself on my mind. I've never been without the ring since!
