Just before we started down to Physics, Helen said Lucy had been down to the boat yesterday and she saw Fred and his bride. As we were walking down to Physics this car drove up and Fred was in it with his wife. She is a the sweetest thing. She talked to me as if she had always known me. They picked us up and took us down to Normal. After they left us there I was so excited I wanted to skip around in circles. In the afternoon I went to see Lon Chaney in “London After Midnight”. It was very gruesome but good. When I got home everyone was out. I spent the rest of the afternoon by myself.
Jane’s Notes: Fred Hendricks married Mirabelle in Hong Kong. London After Midnight (1927) aka The Hypnotist is a silent mystery film with horror overtones produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film stars Lon Chaney, Marceline Day, Conrad Nagel, Henry B. Walthall, and Polly Moran and was directed by Tod Browning. It is also a lost film, quite possibly the most famous and eagerly-sought of all lost films. The last known copy was destroyed in a fire in an MGM film vault in 1967. It is hoped that eventually a print of this film may be discovered in a foreign archive or a private collection.
