Nile Kinnick correspondence, December 1942-March 1943

1943-02-04: Page 03

had a fine time. Brother Edward Everett asked if I would like a little Lobster Newburg which of course I did, not knowing whether it would be served alive or not, but figuring that I could watch Horton and make out alright. It turned out to be chopped lobster meat in a delicious sauce served on a hot piece of whole wheat toast. Thoroughly enjoyed it; very, very good. The conversation was a little out of my line, but most interesting. Especially the comment Mr. Gentry and Mr. Duffy had to make on Billie Burke's play "This Rock" which opened that night. They were both crying for Billie, claiming it was a shame that she ever got stuck with such a play. Probably will turn out to be a Broadway hit?!  After a time I gave Edward the grip and departed. He was very nice to me throughout and expressed a desire to see me again. He seems like a pretty good gent. Certainly he possesses a fine pedigree in his Phi Kappa Psi membership!! On Wednesday I saw a pretty good muscial starring Ilona Massey, who is one beautiful woman.
