I did it! I wore my hair up to school today. It was hard to keep it up tho’ because the ends are so short. I received quite a few compliments and also on Monday, night. We had an English lesson I didn’t expect and a written Spanish lesson again! After lunch I rested and I must have gone to sleep. At three June, Jane, Helen and I went to see “The Student Prince.” It was a very good movie. We got out at five and then went after Pop. We brought Helen home with us. I showed her my birthday presents and we played the phonograph. At twenty to seven we took Jane and Helen home and went to the club for Pop. We watched the Carnival Fire Works while we waited. After dinner I got dressed for Betty’s wedding. It was at 8. We took Helen Miller with us. The brides maids were in different colors of taffeta and Betty made a lovely bride. Bob wasn’t a bit nervous. He smiled at Betty as she came up the aisle and they were talking as they hurried out. It was a beautiful wedding. We got home just at nine thirty.
Jane’s Notes: The Student Prince is an operetta in four acts with music by Sigmund Romberg and book and lyrics by Dorothy Donnelly. It is based on Wilhelm Meyer-Förster's play Alt Heidelberg. The piece has elements of melodrama but lacks the swashbuckling style common to Romberg's other works. The plot is mostly faithful to its source. Ernst Lubitsch made a silent film also based on Förster's work, titled The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg, starring Ramón Novarro and Norma Shearer. Its orchestral score did not use any of Romberg's score, although it did include Gaudeamus Igitur.
