May 19 Sunday – In New York at H.H. Rogers’ office, Sam wrote to Frank Mayo, asking for three tickets to the PW play. Evidently he’d asked for two prior to this, his first request not extant:

I made a mistake. I wanted to ask for 3 seats for Miss Harrison, instead of 2. If not too late, won’t you mail 3 to her, Care H.H. Rogers, 26 Broadway?

He also advised that Miss Harrison had made six typed copies of his curtain speech, so Mayo wouldn’t have to bother with the task, and Sam would give them to Pond [MTP]. Note: Evidently the copies were to be distributed to the press.
