Philip A Embury Journal #1

game. In the evening the whole crowd had a box party at the Globe Theatre given by Loret Taylor or Mrs. Hartley Maners. She was staring in the play "Out There" written by her husband. I saw her in "Peg of My Heart" at the Macdonald Theatre. This was also written by her husband. After the show we went out to Mrs. Earhardt's where we had a very swell dance, with good eats of all kinds and champain. Danced with Loret and several other notables. The house is one of the finest on 5th Ave. Mr. Maners got too much champain much to Lorets disgust. Ben Burten also got lit. Had bad time getting

him and Bert Hope to bed. Half recked the hotel before we finally got them there.

After dinner fooled around the hotel with the boys for a while, then went down to the Woolworth Bldg and took some pictures from the top of the tower. In the

evening Ben Burten & I went to the Winter Garden and saw the "Passing Show of 1917." A wonderful show. After the show met Dick, Herb, Burt, Mac, and had an enjoyable quiet party until 1 A.M.

Spent the afternoon sight seeing. Went through the Pennsylvania and Grand Central Stations. Two very fine stations, none better. Went through the N. Y. Public Library and the Metropolitan Museum. In the evening Harry Webb, Bert, Ben, Herb Kendall, Dick and myself staged a party at the Black Cat,

Paridice, where they tried to stick us for seats, several other caffeys on Broadway, and ended up at the Black Cat. Very enjoyable evening. Dick lost his pocket book, the only thing to regret.

Friday, May 18 '17.

After dinner went to the Post Office and sent package home. Went down to see Don Gregory. Spent short time with him at his hotel, then went out to our Iota Chapter at Columbia College. The chapter has some very fine fellows, but the house is not so very good, However it looked as good as any judging from the exteriors. From the Iota Chapter took Don to a tea given

to the Williams College Boys and we were invited or given tickets at $2.50 a ticket. In the evening ten of us went out on the Riverside Drive to a dance. It wasn't quite to Dick's, Ben's and my liking so we sneaked off. I regreted leaving Don Gregory out there, but I was so intent on getting away that I forgot all about Don untill I was on the outside. Came home and had a little fun as some one tried to hold a midnight wake in our rooms. After that had cleared away I wrote letters until 4:15 A.M. when I turned in to arise again at 8 A.M. _______________________________ Note: Having got behind in
