Thelma and Lowell's Diary: July 5, 1943

Sisters see 'Stage Door Canteen'

Thelma and Lowell had another day of activities entertaining her sister Reva, who was visiting from Ohio. Again sleeping late today, they went to Audubon Park “and watched them dance.” After an early supper, Lowell left for work and the sisters saw the movie Stage Door Canteen, a showcase of Broadway talent that she rated “very good.”
