What happened? (1956)

What has happened to my career? I haven't had a movie role in 2 years and still no offers...... I'm still determined and I'm sure I'll find something soon. Meanwhile, I'll sit and reminisce on my music.

The Wonder Kids (1927)

Vivian and I have began touring churches in the southern states still as The Wonder Kids. Before we only toured within Tennessee, but once mother came to Nashville she arranged with the National Baptist Convention and now we're going to parts of different states each month. We are receiving several hundred dollars as our salary. We both became the best-dressed little girls in the country. We know there's more to come.
