Went to school. At 9:30 we gave our plays for the assembly. They were pretty good. After school we gave them for the matanade. They were rotten! Went to the show with Frankie and saw “Song of Russia” with Robert Taylor & Susan Peters. Was it good. Came home + put up my hair.

Went to school. Practice our play in the morning. Came right home from school. Ate supper + got to leave for school at a quarter to seven. Our play was a success. And Marlin was wonderful. The other play didn’t do so good. After the plays I + Frankie went out with Ed Small + Harvey. After we saw Marlin. Oh! I think Marlins darling + wonderful.
My Response
I do wish I could have seen this play! She never mentioned what it was about but it did take up quite a bit of her time. She seemed excited about it. With her movie obsession, I wonder if she was thinking that maybe one day, she could be on the movies she so loves to watch. I also wonder if the school looks the same as it did when I went there. I can still picture the auditorium and I would guess it looked pretty much the same in my grandma’s time as well.
