Mon., May 15, 1933 - Ordered a new radiator. Alma and I went to Norfolk on the noon train. We had dinner at Trano's. Went to the matinee, Clark Gable in "The White Sister". A sad picture, our eyes were red and our noses running by the time it was over. Came home on the bus. Howard was here a few minutes this evening. He brought me a ticket for the baseball dance tomorrow nite.
Tues., May 16, 1933 - Mom cleaned the west room yesterday and today we cleaned the southeast bedroom. We set out tomato plants this evening. Annie, Ola, and the kids were here this evening.
Wed., May 17, 1933 - We cleaned the hall bedroom today. This morning Mom and I planted sweet corn, cabbage, and muskmelon. This evening we went to the Eighth Grade Promotion Exercises at the school house. The play was very good.
You go, Helen Hayes -- top billing above Clark Gable. Here's the plot from wikipedia:
Italian aristocrat Angela Chiaromonte (Helen Hayes) spurns the potential husband chosen by her father (Lewis Stone) in favor of Giovanni Severi (Clark Gable), a handsome army lieutenant. When her lover is reported killed in World War I, Hayes renounces the world to become a nun. After she takes her vows, the lieutenant shows up very much alive. He implores her to give up the order, but she refuses. The lieutenant is later injured in a bombing raid; he dies, with Angela lovingly at his side.
It does surely should like a tear-jerker.
Grandma does mention if she went to the dance, but instead talked of gardening and visitors. I wonder what was up with that. Feeling sorry for Grandpa here, but since I know it all turned out okay, I won't get too worked up.
