text_A: Later in 1938, Lee returned to Hollywood to audition for the MC at The Jade. Her employment was cut short when she fainted onstage due to overwork and overeating. After she was taken to the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center she was told she needed a tonsillectomy. Lee returned to North Dakota for the operation.
text_B: If Lee herself had tried to put a positive spin on her firing, by telling entertainment journalists a joke about how "They disagreed with my new contract, because I started to charge by the pound", would audiences understand her humor based on how she must have looked at the time?
YES.
