(12) I'm the first artist signed to UNITED ARTISTS new RECORD LABEL and I meet GLARK GABEL!

United Artists signed me to two contracts, one for acting and the other for making music on their brand new record label! UA's Max E. Youngstein signed me himself. I was their first artist and he headed up the new label. I went to New York City to sign with Max and about that time I became Wes Bryan, the new "Singing, Acting, Sensation."

United Artist held a big bash at the chic 21 Club to launch their new label and my career!


Perhaps the greatest thrill for me was that I met the handsome actor CLARK GABLE, who was the star of "Gone With The Wind," on my way out of my own party! Clark had been a "duster" on the line at a factory making new tires in Akron, Ohio himself. Clark shook my hand and his hand was even bigger than mine! I gave him a BOX of my new single record, "Tiny Spaceman" and "Lonesome Love."

I was glorified and petrified as bags of fan mail started to arrive and UA's publicity drums started beating for me. Several news writers announced my arrival on the scene in their columns, including Walter Winchell.
