Blonder had all the Le Conte news. Ygnacio Bonillas and joseph Sistrom had gone down to South America to look for a silver mine. They found the mine all right, but it didn't do them any good because joe made the map that showed where it was. On the trip back to civilization he began to think of something else and put a log of wood in his pocket and threw the map on the Ere After a good lunch at Fred I'Iammel's Cafe, we went to Edward Belascds Theatre. VVe went there because we could get in for nothing. Belasco himself met us at the entrance. The prologue was just starting when we arrived. Arline Cornwell and Nadine Coughlin were the star dancers. According to the program they wore costumes designed by Dorothy lVIyers. The feature picture was a Nicholas Benton Alexander Production. Ben had allihisiheroes blonde. I never could understand why he hated the 'lLatin Loversl' so, until I found some of the blue slips he used to get in Latin. After the show I bought a paper to see what all the newsboys were yelling HExtra about. It seemed that Esther Armstrong had performed her first operation after getting her diploma as a doctor about a month before. The extra was about her acquittal from a manslaughter charge. VVhat made it doubly interesting was the fact that jack Christensen had been her attorney. That night when I got home I concluded that my leisure time had been well spent.
