Thursday 1st June 1933

I suppose other things have happened today, but all I can write of is “Two eyes of blue come smilin’ through….to me” For I have just returned from seeing the film and hearing the haunting tune. It was a marvellous story, - nothing suggestive in it. Everyday phrases cannot describe the impression I received. Nor will I try to re-tell the story; I shall not forget it. I cannot think of any film (that word is seldom used here!) which has impressed me so deeply and I think it will have a good effect on me. “Smilin’ Through”.

At first I wrote here in a romantic and idyllic way about deep love. But now I have torn out the page and burnt it; some thoughts should not be perpetuated on paper!
