«America was too dry-so he came to Venice.............He was studying Art- but the only thing he could draw was a check-in six figures! He had painted a picture of a rosy future with his Girl from Home- but that was before he met the wildest, witchingest little Water Waif that ever swam the streets of Venice! (Print Ad- Daily Nebraskan, ((Lincoln, Neb.)) 2 October 1927)»
