I don't remember her name, but Wolfe Silver's sister and her husband were friends with my mother and daddy. They had a store in Hinesville [Georgia], an army store, because by then the government had already had a base at Fort Stewart. Murray Silver and his family moved in our house, apartment house on 40th Street when we moved to 45th Street. Then in later years, when I married Herman and came back to Savannah, I was on the Mayor's Committee for making movies and there was a movie, I think it was in the 1970's or 1980's, I'm not sure, called Bingo Long and the Traveling All-Stars and I used to sign up extras and find locations for the movies. Because a lot of those people knew my family, which I haven't gotten around to, we moved to California. Let me talk about moving to California then . . . I'll tell the story. Anyway, this young lady I had gone to high school with . . . she came with Julian Silver to play the part of an extra in this movie. We went to dinner or lunch one day and Julian said, \"I guess you think it's strange that we are together,\" because Julian Silver was this wild man and this woman was my age, and we were a little older than Julian, was this quiet, sweet, darling lady. She was so gorgeous when we were in high school, and her mother used to make all her clothes, and she was just magnificent. She came with Julian, and she was still magnificent only her hair was gray, but she still looked gorgeous. Julian said, \"We meet in the laundromat.\" I thought, that's strange, this is 1970, they meet in a laundromat. She starts telling me that she still lives with her mother, she and her husband, and she has one son in her house on 39th Street where she lived in when we went to high school. She meets Julian in the laundromat every week when she's doing her laundry. After they left, I started thinking about it and I wrote a story about this young woman who had been so beautiful and so gorgeous and so lovely and so wonderful and who lived in this house on 39th Street that, even when we were in high school, it wasn't a particularly fancy neighborhood. This is umpteen years later, she still lives with her mother in the house with this husband and a son, who she told me was 29 years old and did I think she could find him something to do, so he evidently has no great shakes. Plus the fact that she doesn't have a washing machine and a dryer, she has to go every week to the laundromat to do the laundry for all those people. That's where she met Julian and evidently, he brought a little joy into her life and I just thought it was very interesting and I wrote a story and I later made it into a play at the request of Margaret Hartnett and Jim Holt at City Lights Theater for his first City Lights contest of one act plays and I won honorable mention, but they've never put it on.

The family was originally from New York, and they moved to Savannah because when my great aunt came here with my great grandmother, this is on the Schmalheiser side, and she brought my family here and she also brought the Konters here. [indistinct: 19:26] Konter's mother, who was Aunt Katie, who was the Sadler children's grandmother, she was a Schmalheiser, and she was my grandfather's sister. That's sort of my family that was here. Anyway, my father's older brother, whose name is Edward Small, and who made more movies in Hollywood than any other producer has ever made, he ran away from Savannah when he was about 11 or 12, and he could dance and sing. A black man at the Savannah Theatre taught him how to tap dance and sing. He went up to New York, and he was on the Borscht Circuit, and when he got a little older, he went into the theatrical agency business, and he got another one of his brothers who was close to his age to come with him to New York. My father went as a teenager and worked for them, and then he was sent back home to take care of my grandparents. He served in World War I, and then he came back, and he married my mother and had three daughters, Miriam, Helen, who is me, and Elinor. He worked with my grandfather. Then in 1943, my grandmother died, and my grandfather moved to Florida with my aunt. We moved to Los Angeles [California]. My uncles had then moved from New York to Los Angles, and they had a theatrical agency business there and my uncle Edward Small became a producer and it was known as the Edward Small Productions and we moved to California and my father went out there and after being an assistant director for a little while, my uncle made him production manager and business manager of Edward Small Productions. They made Lassie, and Fury, a series called The Halls of Ivy with Ronald Colman, Hawkeye and the Mohicans with J. Carrol Naish, and that was the TV shows, but some of the movies they made were, there's too many . . . Witness for the Prosecution, My Son, My Son!, Bob Hope movies, Boy, You Got the Wrong Number!, I'll Take Sweden, The Christine Jorgensen Story, which is the first woman who was a man and had a sexual change, The Life of Rudolph Valentino, I could go on and on. There were 359 movies, and my uncle has a star on Hollywood and Vine and his name is up on the wall in the Los Angeles Music Center next to Richard Nixon. But not too many people know about him because he did not allow any publicity. He just was a workaholic. He wasn't interested in being interviewed.

Another thing that my mother did that I didn't tell you about, when I was about nine and my sister was 12, she gave us each a dollar and 35 cents. I have this memory, my uncle's had this, my father had this memory. It makes you crazy, all this stuff. Anyway, she said, \"Go downtown and go to Gardner's.\" That's where they sold materials, it was the only material place in town. \"Go to Gardener's and buy a pattern and buy enough material to make two pairs of pajamas and then come home and I'll thread the sewing machine, and you can make two pairs of the pajamas for winter. Get flannel and if you don't do it, you won't have any winter pajamas.\" It cost the nickel to go uptown, and the pattern was 25 cents, and the material was 25 cents a yard. I was so little, when I was 10, I weighed 55 pounds. Everybody thought I was brilliant because I was a little, they didn't know how old I was. When I was six, they thought I would be four. When I was four, they thought I was two. They thought I was a genius. I wasn't a genius; I was just a skinny kid who ate nothing. We came home and she said, \"Get thread, get enough thread.\" I bought a pattern that slipped over your head because I wasn't going to make any buttonholes. My pattern looked like firecrackers; it was red firecrackers exploding. My sister Miriam, who had this gorgeous red hair, she brought pink material with a little rose buds because mother never would have put pink on her because she said pink didn't go with her red hair. We said, \"Now what?\" She threaded the machine, and we said, \"What will we do?\" She said, \"Open up the pattern and read the instructions.\" She put it on the dining room table with the patterns on the table. She said, \"Read the instructions, cut out the material and sew them,\" and do it by supper time. [interview pauses, then resumes] Anyway, and that's what we did.

The Florodora Girls were a sextet, and they sang and danced on the stage in the 1890's. They sang and danced in England. That part of her family was from London, but I don't know if . . . Aunt Flora wasn't one of the original sextet of the Florodora Girls. One of the original ones was Evelyn Nesbit, who was in a murder, Stanford White and I forget who murdered who, but she was one of the original Florodora Girls. Aunt Flora was a Florodora Girl when they were in New York City and Edward VII, who was known as Bertie, who is Queen Victoria's son, said if he ever got to be king, because his mother was queen for 60 years, that he was going to invite all the Florodora Girls to the coronation. He did, and Aunt Flora was one of those women. She rode in the coronation of Edward VII and was presented at court. When I was a little girl, I was about eight, she lived with us in Savannah because she had been engaged to a New York councilman, it was a great scandal because he was Catholic, and she was Jewish. It was a real shanda, is that the word? She went to Europe to buy her trousseau and when she went the Europe to buy her trousseau, that was in 1918, he died in the flu epidemic of 1918. When she went to Europe at that time, mother said that she had a brownstone house in somewhere, Brooklyn, somewhere, I don't know where. She had this huge house, and she had this banquet table, and she would sit at one end, and mother would sit at the other, and the maid and the butler used to serve them dinner. A lot of people think my mother had these fancy ideas and that's where she got them, from Aunt Flora. Aunt Flora's fiancé died and so she came back, and she never married. When I was a little girl, she came and lived with us for about a year and then she missed New York. Savannah was not for her. She was born and raised in New York, and she went back to New York, and she later died, and we always called her Aunt Flora, wasn't until she died, I found out her real name was Belle.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/147854/file/272002#t=2893.0,3052.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/147854/file/272002/transcript/79905/annotation/179","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eROBINSON:\u003c/strong\u003e You always thought she was Flora, not because she was a Florodora Girl?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/147854/file/272002#t=3052.0,3053.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/147854/file/272002/transcript/79905/annotation/180","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eCRANMAN:\u003c/strong\u003e Right.
