Monday—Opening of “The Letter” — Katharine Cornell is marvelous, but the play—our own little dramatic critic will tell you all about that. Among those pres- ent: Julia Hoyt in a glorious bronze-brown evening gown; Edna Hibbard, late of “Tenth Avenue,” wearing a black evening gown and a brilliant red lipstick in a flaming case. (She wasn’t wearing the lipstick.) Danced afterwards at the Lido. Nobody there. = Tuesday—Swimming at the Park Central. Claire Luce of “The Follies” in a black swim- ming suit trimmed with—nothing. Danced on the roof. Good music and a nice place. Home early. oP Wednesday—Dined at a mar- velous speakeasy on 45th Street —cutest bar I ever saw and a simply wonderful nickel piano.

Opening of George Olsen’s Club—my favorite night club and George is my favorite night club proprietor. Breakfast at Child’s. => Friday—Up to Greenwich for the week-end. Discovered the be most gorgeous thing. Black play- ing cards. The colors of the suits are all changed around and are frightfully difficult to get ac- customed to, but they are the most decorative things imaginable. As we said before, the background of the cards is black. And the spades are yellow, clubs green, diamonds white and hearts red. <=> We re! a letter protesting wildly against our selection of phonograph records. Here are a few of the suggestions made— Paul Whiteman’s ‘“‘When Day Is Done,” especially the cornet solo. “Bye Bye, Pretty Garber and Got It,” by Ted Weems. Had a Lover,” from ‘Padlocks of 1927,” played by Nat Shilkret. Aileen Stanley singing “I’m Gonna Dance Wid the Guy What Brung Me.” => Now—if we might make a sug- gestion or two of our own. Try “Shaking the Blues Away” and “It All Belongs to Me,” sung by Ruth Etting. Also another White- man _ record—“Mississippi Mud” and “I Left My Sugar Standing in the Rain” on one side, and “Sweet L’il”—“Ain’t She Sweet” on the other, sung by the White- man orchestra. a Six Best Steppers “Varsity Drag” (Good News) “Rang Tang” (Rang Tang) “It All Belongs To Me” (Ziegfeld Follies) “Soliloquy” (no show) “Dolly Dimples” (no show) “Barbara” (no show) Joe comicbooks.com
