Friday, September 7, 1928

I spoke to Don today - first time since Monday. We got our Physics grades today. I got 83. Same as last time. In the afternoon June and I went to see “West Point” starring William Haines. It was a lot like “Dress Parade” but I liked this better.

Jane’s Notes: Charles William "Billy" Haines (January 2, 1900 – December 26, 1973) was an American film actor and interior designer. He was a star of the silent era until the 1930s, when Haines' career was cut short by MGM Studios due to his refusal to deny his homosexuality. Haines never returned to film and instead started a successful interior design business with his life partner and supported by friends in Hollywood. West Point (1928) is a silent feature film starring William Haines and Joan Crawford in a story about an arrogant cadet who finds love and discipline just in time for the big Army-Navy game. The story and screenplay were written by Raymond L. Schrock with titles written by Joseph Farnham. The film was directed by Edward Sedgwick and produced by Maj. Raymond G. Moses.
