So I really feel as if yesterday was a turning point in my life,
because at last I have met a gentleman who is not only an artist but
who has got brains besides. I mean he is the kind of a gentleman that a
girl could sit at his feet and listen to for days and days and nearly
always learn something or other. Because, after all, there is nothing
that gives a girl more of a thrill than brains in a gentleman,
especially after a girl has been spending the week end with Henry. So
Mr. Montrose talked and talked all of the way to New York and I sat
there and did nothing else but listen. So according to Mr. Montrose’s
opinion Shakespear is a very great playwrite, and he thinks that Hamlet
is quite a famous tragedy and as far as novels are concerned he
believes that nearly everybody had ought to read Dickens. And when we
got on the subject of poetry he recited “The Shooting of Dan McGrew”
until you could almost hear the gun go off.
And then I asked Mr. Montrose to tell me all about himself. So it seems
that Mr. Montrose was on his way home from Washington D. C., where he
went to see the Bulgarian Ambassadore to see if he could get Bulgaria
to finance a senario he has written which is a great historical subject
which is founded on the sex life of Dolly Madison. So it seems that Mr.
Montrose has met quite a lot of Bulgarians in a Bulgarian restaurant on
Lexington Avenue and that was what gave him the idea to get the money
from Bulgaria. Because Mr. Montrose said that he could fill his senario
full of Bulgarian propoganda, and he told the Bulgarian Ambassadore
that every time he realised how ignorant all of the American film fans
were on the subject of Bulgaria, it made him flinch.
