November 4, 1932 - Finished the exams and got all the papers corrected. Mayme and Lloyd came after me about 8 o'clock. We went home right away. Walkers cashed my check for me today at Norfolk.
November 5, 1932 - I washed my hair and Mayme finger-waved it. Also washed out my clothes. We went down to the library this evening and I got some books. We stopped in at Schellenberg's to see Florence but she wasn't home.
November 6, 1932 - I went to S.S. but Mayme didn't. She came to church with Mom and Ray. An adult class was confirmed and we took the Lord's Supper. We went to see F.S. this p.m. Tonite I went with Mayme and Lloyd to the Granada. We saw Bing Crosby in "The Big Broadcast." Peggy Jean Francis birthday.
Courtesy of wikipedia, here is the story of The Big Broadcast:
Radio-singer Bing Crosby is not very serious about his career. His chronic tardiness and his affair with the notorious Mona Lowe (Sharon Lynn) has become an issue at station WADX. After Mona cheats on him, the despondent singer meets Texas oil man Leslie McWhinney (Stuart Erwin), who has also been wronged by a woman.
Soon after, Anita Rogers (Leila Hyams), the former fiancée of McWhinney, falls in love with Crosby. Meanwhile, station manager George Burns is plagued by the addled conversation of his stenographer, Gracie Allen and eventually loses the radio station. McWhinney buys the station in order to help out Crosby and Anita, whom he still loves. McWhinney comes up with the idea of putting on a "big broadcast" of stars to pull the station out of debt.
Mona returns on the scene and threatens the budding romance between Crosby and Anita, as well as the station's upcoming big broadcast. McWhinney tries to find a phonograph record to replace the absent Crosby, and ends up impersonating Crosby on the air. The singer returns and takes the microphone in mid-song. Crosby, who actually has been feigning irresponsibility to bring McWhinney and Anita together, succeeds both in reuniting the former lovers and in taming Mona.
Is it just me, or does neither of the guys in the movie poster look like Bing Crosby?
