Saturday, June 22, 1929 - Saint Louis, MO


We wanted to get started by eight o’clock again so we had to be awakened at six. When we got into the other part of the cottage the whole family was up except Margaret and Mary and Mrs.Maxwell had breakfast ready for us. After breakfast we bid our adieus. Mr. Maxwell and Frank brought us into town where we picked up our bags at their house. We left their house at a quarter after seven, three quarters of an hour early! Then we started for Saint Louis. We stopped at Cuba a little town about two hours out of Saint Louis for lunch. We got into Saint Louis at about three thirty. Mom had Grif’s address so first we went to his address but we couldn’t get anybody to come to the door.So we went on to his office and he wasn’t there. So we found a hotel and cleaned up. Then we called up Grif and told him where we were and he said he’d be around in half an hour. While he was coming we had supper. After we had finished and he was there we went to the outdoor opera. It was wonderful. Seats thousands of people.

Jane's Notes: Mom put the program from the production in her scrapbook. They saw "Wildflower" in Three Acts. The tickets say they were seated in Row M Left, seats 2 through 6.
