SATURDAY, JAN. 2nd, 1932.

Worked in morning. We got tickets again for "Charmeuse" at Embassy with Iris Hoey Ion Swinley. Phil Meggitt came and had tea in afternoon, went away and came back to theatre. Just as we were starting out I had letter telling of dear Uncle Theo's death. I felt as if I could not go on. O, the terrible blank that all death leaves.
