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.

Got a letter from Hattie Moores. Went to Lily’s after school. We had a fire–started in the cellar. We went to the Rosedale to keep warm. Saw “Women in His Life” and “Master of Men.” Smells smoky.
