Fair cool day. Arose 8 A.M. Out on business in forenoon. Dinner. Haircut. Down town. Bath at Y. Home. Cleaned up. To K.S.P. district council supper & meeting at Y. 6-9 P.M. To Strand with Merris. Good picture. Home. To bed 11:30 P.M.

Merris is a family friend first identified in the 1919 diary at this post. He and Stanford enjoyed a variety of entertainment that evening: not only a "good picture"--The Man From Lost River--but a singing performance from Melda Allporte, some pictures from the ice carnival (mentioned by Stanford in an earlier entry), some comedy and a newsreel. And the theater had its own symphony and organ to provide the music. People got a lot for their money at the movies in those days! Incidentally, the cost of the show was 35 cents, 25 cents for the balcony. All these excerpts were taken from the 27 January Schenectady Gazette.
