Synopsis

Excerpt from From Under My Hat

Once upon a time there was a six-toed cousin. Mine. When I first saw him, I knew I was in show business. Kids in the neighborhood couldn''t afford pennies, but I made them pay five pins every time they got a look at him.

At the time when my six-teed cousin and I were in busi ness, I was Elda Furry. I was born in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, a peaceful, pretty town fourteen miles out side the industrial city of Altoona. In the West we''d call it a suburb, although the Hollidaysburg citizens might want to hang me for using that term.

I made my entrance into this world June 2 (i''ll skip the year because I don''t want anyone following me around with a wheel chair) during one of the gaudiest electrical storms ever seen in the community. The heavens opened up and so did I. It is said that I came in screaming. Mother didn''t rightly know which was making the most noise, but she found out soon enough. The elements quit, but I didn''t.

Born with good lungs, I''ve never stopped exercising them. Today I can outshout any producer in Hollywood.

When I was three we moved to Altoona. My growing pains were done to the rhythm of hard work; I never had it easy. What school learning I got was as sketchy as my knowledge of men. I didn''t make a high school, and boys didn''t seem to like me much. I had only one beau in Altoona, but I won''t fool you, I''ve had several since.

When life became intolerable at home, I ran New York and went on the stage. There I met Hopper. Inasmuch as I left home to escape being a butcher''s daughter, it seems ironical Spend the rest of my life dealing in ham.

But for De Wolf Hopper, this been written. Life with him was a liberal education. He set my feet upon the way.
