1918
Tue. 23rd Apl.
Another concert in evening. Not such a good show as the last. Asstd vaudeville followed by a pierrot-show. (4 male & 4 "female") A couple of the "Pierrettes" were quite chic, but the others - !
Aubrey E. Raymond-Barker, (the name quite suits the owner) actually had the nerve to give a "baby" song attired as a pierrette! He had neither voice nor looks, but he had effrontery.
Wed 24th.
Through the farm country at the back of the lager this morning, through a now-deserted villa-farm with charmingly laid-out gardens. The surrounding country is very sandy, though picturesque, & although some rye is grown the land is chiefly devoted to timber, principally pine.
A long road back from the farm to the lager is bordered with cherry trees, now in full blossom.
