Thursday June 13, 1935

(This is an entry from the journal entitled Mexico Summer written by Elizabeth Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago. )

Letter from Betty.  She  has enrolled in Albuquerque.  I wrote her trying to persuade her to change, but not against her better judgement. Rumors of political conflict in Mexico! Sent yesterday for material for seersucker dress and lining for coat from Sears. Wrote to Alyce Claire, “Les Miserables”  was wonderful! Frederic March seems to get better with each picture he plays in – Charles Laughton and Rochelle Hudson, John Beal good too. I didn’t know the priest’s name but he played his short part well.  A little tennis with Dorothy, Jaime, Mary Jo and Maxine W. at 7 o’clock.  The rain stopped us – Heard the Baer-Braddock  fight over the radio.  Braddock won – no one knocked out!

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

Went to El Paso in afternoon was with Mr. Pennnington, Mary Beth Clark, Ethel Mae Moore, Maxine Smith, and Mary Jo to see “Les Miserables”.  Mr. Buff went to see Red Hot Siren a racing picture.  Saw Catherine Smith.  Told her Carsey was to have left today for Mexico City.  She was undecided whether to go or to have her tonsils removed!  Got home about 3:30 AM
