THE ETERNAL CITY starring Pauline Frederick and Thomas Holding

Fine, fairly warm or hot. Trimmed up trees and leveled up garage with Pa in A.M. We 3 went down and saw finals in Minneapolis Tennis Tournament. Jayne, who is an old player and held the city champ 26 years ago, beat John Adams 6:2 - 6:4 - 6:2. We then walk to the Garrick and saw "The Eternal City." Home and walked down to lake in eve - watched fireworks and rode around in launch and I sat on the tail end which was level with the water because of the heavy load. The lake clear around us was jammed with autos and people - about 80,000. Home to bed.

Tues. July 6, 1915

Hard rain all day - warm.

In attic all day reading letters, looking at pictures and plates and sorting over stuff. Found a bunch of plates, pictures of me and others when I was "knee high to a grasshopper." I'm going to get prints taken from them.
