Summary
Mentioning that "Miss Clayton" came to see her but that she is unable to help her at the moment, going on to write that "Things are in a state of chaos out here. Professor Reinhardt left for New York Saturday; thus ending one of my dreams for the moment", adding that she is both "disappointed and relieved" over the delay, as "the ideas we had were not at all in keeping with the present time"; going on to say they she is unsure what to do next, as "The talkies seem so disillusioning; momentarily they frighten me" and the movies have lost the interest they have held over the past two years; writing that she saw (the play) "Young love" and found it dull "and in spots rather disgusting", although (her sister) "Dorothy had lovely moments and has developed her voice to a point of real beauty", concluding "If she will have patience and good judgement I believe she has quite a future in the theatre."
