Dear Diary,
I guess I’ll be seeing “They Got Me Covered” about twenty-one times, because they fooled me and held it over for a third week. And I said not long ago that I intend to see it once for every day it stays in town. By then I’ll know Bob’s every movement by heart — as if I didn’t already. Incidentally, I actually mailed that letter to Bob today. I only hope it reaches him.
Sunset had an awards assembly this morning, and I received a silver initialed bracelet for my hundred per cent paper in the Interscholastic League Spelling Contest. I’ll also get a letter for that as soon as the order can be cleared.
Dear Diary,
There were several things in the papers about Bob today. One of them was that he hired an ambulance to take from Kingman, Arizona, to Hollywood after his broadcast. In that way he could get some sleep. Another article I will quote in part: “The next road taken by Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, which starts shooting after Bob returns from his trip abroad, will be Road to Utopia. I’d like to be in England when Bob gets there. His popularity in Britain is colossal. “That was Sheilah Graham.
There was also an article about me (among others) in the morning papers. Naturally it concerned the recent Interscholastic League Spelling Contest. It said that the high scoring papers were sent to Austin, for selection of state winners.
