Cloudy and cool. Clifton, the girls and I left for New Jersey 745 am, rainy and foggy most of the way. Arrived Ell Mae 1030 am. Did some shopping for her in pm and rode around some. Did some cleaning for her.
Comment: Mom and Dad were always very responsive to Ella Mae. She was always very good to Mom when Mom was younger, including trips to New York City. They went to see Al Jolson one time . In the 30's Al Jolson was the world's most famous and highest paid entertainer. He starred in the first talking picture, The Jazz Singer, where he appeared in black face. He was also the first star to entertain troops overseas in WWII and the first star to entertain GI's on active service in Korea. Mom was not swayed and I remember her saying she did not think very much of him. Nelson Eddy was one of her favorite singers......
