John Drew as entertaining & funny as ever &
Maud Adams simply charming - a couple who've been
married but haven't seen each other (a sort of a mess) and meet afterward
to fall in love - & in distress - till the facts are disclosed.
It's very cute. Makes me think a little of Crocker's
"Two Masters". Ethel Barrymore is in it.
She's very tall & stunning - lovely hair a horrid - or a peculiar -
voice - & looks like her pictures. Her husband (in the play)
Geo. Glib - says only one word
"Hurrah" but he's very funny. We had a good time. Saw all the
Perkins - the Cutlers - and
Walter Smith &c. Met Emmet Drew,
&
Hattie Richardson &others of "the Wilburs"
(Mary knew them) - coming home.
Dec. 31. Tuesday.
A high wind (51 miles an hour) kept me awake all night - &
everyone else, I guess. It stormed all day but wasn't so terribly
cold. I got my silk waist started (Miss Shelley)
tonight we are all home around the fire - Mama
on the divan snoozing off her cold. Papa reading his new Shakespear & tending
fire. Claude reading The Wrecker
& I writing.
1895.
