Tuesday, December 26 (1944)

Took 9:00 BO for N.Y. Quite Cold. Nice trip up. At New York found sky clear and bitter west wind sweeping across North River. After lunch called up Sneddon. then exchanged Mary's sweaters at Lord and Taylors. Took in a "newsie" and met Sneddon at University Club. Then to eat at small dairy lunch. To Commodore for advice and got reservation for Sonje Heinie's Hats off to Ice. Took in another newsie and then ice show. Some very good numbers. All beautifully staged. Some inappropriate eg south sea islanders on skates. A little plah. Home to Empire Hotel about midnight.
