July 31
It’s beautiful! Today was the day I
could awake slowly; stare coldly and
aloofly with a disdainful air at the
clock and roll back to a state of
blissful contemplation. It’s Saturday!
It’s also the day I could lead a
capitalistic life and go to the Roxy
with Mother to see “Stormy Weather” with
an all-Sepian cast starring Lena Horne
and Bill Robinson. Lena Horne’s torchy
singing of the title song was terrific;
and I enjoyed it a lot. Russ Morgan
and Orchestra were there in person as
was Connee Boswell. It’s remarkable
the power that girl has inspite of
her partial paralysis.
This afternoon was spent basking in
the backyard sun again. I wrote Floyd
and Dossie and finished “Mr.
Chilvester’s Daughters.”
News of Italy & the war is conflicting
and confused.
