A new baby and a new business

Fannie and I did not get many amusements. Once in a great while
we used to go on a Sunday to Tally’s moving picture theatre, which
was considered a high-class show. Who ever heard of baby sitters?
After nine o’clock in the evening the streets used to be deserted,
except on New Year’s Eve when a crowd on Broadway between
Third and Seventh streets blew horns, and a few of them got drunk. I
used to get free tickets to the Burbank Theatre, which was then the
theatre in Los Angeles, but I either had to go there by myself or
Fannie with another woman, as we had not discovered at that time
the accommodating baby sitters.
