Monday, August 27, 1928 - The Diary Resumes

I haven’t written in here for more than a week because nothing of particular interest has happened. Early last week I got mad at Don. Result - we walk to Physics. We went swimming almost every day last week. Last Saturday I spent the day with Gwen. Went swimming twice. Went to see “Sally” with Coleen Moore and Lloyd Hughs. He’s so good looking. Yesterday we went to see “Annie Laurie” with Lillian Gish. After the show we drove out to the Dam. The Trig is getting awfully hard and if I don’t find out more about it I’m going to flunk. We were going swimming this afternoon but we found out there is no water in the tank. This last week I have learned to jack knife and started on the flip. I got an envelope this afternoon in the mail. In it were some pictures taken in 1926. There was an address on it but no name. Who sent it? An anonymous letter!!

Jane’s Notes: Colleen Moore (August 19, 1899 – January 25, 1988) was an American film actress, and one of the most fashionable stars of the silent film era. Lloyd Hughes (21 October 1897 - 6 June 1958) was an American silent film actor. “Sally” was released in 1925. Lillian Diana Gish (October 14, 1893 – February 27, 1993[1]) was an American stage, screen and television actress whose film acting career spanned 75 years, from 1912 to 1987. Annie Laurie (1927) is a silent film directed by John S. Robertson, released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and starring Lillian Gish and Norman Kerry. This was the third film of Lillian Gish at MGM, and its flop heralded a decline in the star's career. John Wayne makes an early film appearance as a crowd extra.

On this day in history: 16 die in a New York City subway's 2nd worst accident, 42nd U.S. Womens Tennis: Helen W Moody beats Helen Hull Jacobs (62 61) and Kellogg-Briand Pact, where 60 nations agree to outlaw war.
