Case number 1540. Patient admitted
to psychiatric at request of wife...
:44:17
... following suicide attempt
by ingestion of iodine.
:44:20
Time: 5 a.m., September 1, 1954.
:44:23
Patient has a past history
of nervous breakdown...
:44:26
... for which he was hospitalized
in California for 8 months.
:44:30
The wife says
this was related to depression...
:44:32
... over their daughter's death...
:44:34
... and also by reverses in,
quote, his career.
:44:37
End of quote.
:44:44
Can't sleep either, huh?
:44:47
Yeah, I'm giving up all my bad habits.
:44:53
So what do you think of this...
:44:56
...Chummy Morello?
:44:57
He wants me to tour
with him and some singers.
:45:03
Chummy Morello.
:45:08
- Violet Welles.
- Who?
:45:11
No, no. See, you don't know her.
You're too young.
:45:14
She's probably dead by now.
:45:16
But Violet...
:45:22
"The vibrant Violet of song,"
they billed her at the Apollo.
:45:30
This is the chick I was playing behind
when I found my style.
:45:33
I was just backing her up.
I didn't even have a regular gig.
:45:37
I was just washing dishes
and jamming after hours.
:45:45
Of course that's before I became...
:45:47
...the titanic commercial success
that you see sitting before you.
:45:52
That's before I captured the fancy...
:45:55
...of the adoring public.
