1931

While in Manhattan, Baba would usually go to the theater or a movie at night. The previous evening, he had been to the theater with Norina and Anita (although which movie or play they saw is not recorded). On the 25th night he went to the magnificent, cathedral-like, Roxy Theater with Norina, Eileen, Anita, and three others and saw the Marx Brothers' movie Monkey Business.
