Tuesday, 11th January, 1916

Nothing very eventful to record to—day
but this is really the day of the McCann
tournament which I wrote about on
Friday but as I have had to go back
on this diary not having it at the
time I got mixed as to date.
Spent most of the morning fixing
up what the boys were to wear, to
have it all changed at the last
moment.They thought it might
be evening dress & it turned out
to be morning dress.
Beatrice went with Adela Woolett
& Nana to the Gaiety Pantomine
Dick Whittington 1 — Miss Onida
Mac Dermot is the principal boy.
The funny man Tom Foy is very
good & keeps the audience in roars
of laughter all the time, but I think
Bee was more entertained by watching
“Plunkett” eating apples in the
Dress circle. This offends her idea
of what is correct in the aristocracy
