Walked thro' dirty 12th St. & engaged our berths for Thursday and took the cable cars down Clark St. just as it began to rain. Went to Hooley's theatre on Randolph St. & got seats for this p.m. and then it poured. Walked around in the rain to the Cyclorama. Met troops going to a strike - soaked. Stayed in the Cyclorama an hour or so - it poured & thundered all the time. It was quite a fine thing and gave one quite an idea of the fire. The view is from old Fort Dearborn (a man explained it) and it is quite terrific. A nominal (not real) lull in the storm enabled us to take a car a block to Hotel Brunswick - a most god forsaken & Light-forsaken place but we had to lunch there - chilled through and by that time it had stopped raining & was time to go to the theatre. I went on foot - on Claude's arm - but Ned & Will took a cab. Claude saw Louise Gould & Bess Weaver. We got good seats upstairs and the play was fine. Willard is a delight & Marie Burroughs charming.
