SUNDAY, APRIL 22 1934
Didn’t go to Sunday School. Mary didn’t come, anyway. Mama and I went to the Alhambra and saw Will Rogers in “David Harum” and Anna Sten in “Nana.” Both were great.

Wore my shirtwaist dress to school. Kids liked it. Grandma bought a midget radio in Horton’s–only $9. It sounds swell and clear. Lily and I too a walk. It’s swell to hear music.
