[about working at Columbia Pictures] I liked working there very much. It was my home studio and I knew everyone and they knew me. Everybody was very nice, but they worked us hard. I only recall one film in which we were able to rehearse. They would put me in three pictures at one time but I didn't mind. I enjoyed it; and besides, it was a steady income. Columbia was really a learning experience for me. I had been on the stage but never acted in films before. I was learning with each movie I made, even though many were B pictures.
