The Big Timer

Thur., May 18, 1933 - Washed today.  We got through quite early considering the big washing we had.  I slept most of the afternoon and went to bed quite early tonite.  My muscles aren't used to such hard labor and had to be rubbed with alcohol.
Fri., May 19, 1933 - Mom and I ironed this forenoon and cleaned up the house this afternoon.  This evening we went to the Commencement Exercises at the school house.  Lydia came up with Arnold and Clarence Schmitt.  We drove around a little after the Exercises were over.
Sat., May 20, 1933 - Lydia and I went down town this morning.  I baked a cake right after dinner.  It would have been better if the oven hadn't been too hot.  We went down town with Alma this evening.  She took us to the show, Ben Lyons in "The Big Timer."  After the show we had a soda at the drug store.

Wikipedia let me down as far as a summary of the plot of this movie, but AllMovie.com saved the day.  It sounds like a decent enough flick:

     Ben Lyon plays an aspiring boxer in this pre-code drama. Cookie Bradford (Ben Lyon) toils at a diner and works out at the gym while waiting for his big break. His one supporter is the gym owner's daughter, Honey (Constance Cummings). When her father dies suddenly, she decides to take over his business. The fighters, however, have no faith in a woman, and they all walk out on her -- except for Bradford. She begins coaching him and he starts winning fights. But when they marry and head for the big city, male prejudice towards Honey works against them until she manages to place Bradford in a charity fight held by a socialite (Thelma Todd). Bradford then fights his way up to Madison Square Garden, but it all goes to his head. He ignores Honey in favor of the socialite, and dumps her as a manager in favor of Dan Wilson, a man with a big name and big promises. But Bradford's luck runs out and he loses his way to the bottom of the bill. It takes Honey's ingenuity to make him into a contender once again.
