Roger is eating like a horse now he's off his liquid diet and gaining weight and pep fast. The poor little chap looked pretty peaked for a few days but now his rosy cheeks and solidity are fast returning.

Went to the Playhouse with the Perkinsons tonight to see "First Lady," Jane Cowl's play in N.Y. recently. It was a scream, showing Geo. S. Kaufmann's touch throughout – he collaborated as usual. Marjorie Vincent had the Cowl roll and did well; she is really a most attractive woman, graceful, witty, smooth, stylish, well figured. They have a flock of newcomers this season, all with experience and showing considerable talent. The new girl is a good actress but rather a dizzy blonde type with funny legs – has a face resembling a dizzy little blonde I met once in the "Gold Coast" in the Village. I thought at first it really might be she! But no, that one hadn't sense enough to act. Mrs. C.M. Davis was in it too, as stiff and oddly shaped as ever – looks like a tree at the timber line.

Stopped at Sedlers on the way home for beer and sandwiches. Perk was in a jolly mood, and almost busted a gut laughing, several times, particularly when telling about Mr. Glencannon getting the hair on his chest caught in the zipper of his coverall, in one of Guy Gilpatric's stories in the Post. Also, Perk related how Gerry Hoddy was once standing in the wings with Don Walp at a G.E. Dramatic Club rehearsal, and pointed out a woman on the stage, observing how utterly homely she was. It was Mrs. Walp whom he later left high & dry. Walp was in the show tonight, is now a Playhouse regular in main parts.
