Hello again, Bob Paine, San Mateo, April 2, 1965 Just me Honorrene, asking you to do a bit on Dickie Jose'while you are doing your series on the Nevada Theater that I have enjoyed somuch, You probably won't remember this great singer's appearance, Such a lovely warm evening that the theater door opposite the Armory Hall was left open, Some of us didn't have the price of admission, We sat around, for free, listening to his sweet tenor voice sing The Last Rose Of Summer among other favorites. A Cousin Jack that made good, While he got fancy with his nameMr, Richard Jase’, he was just one of us. I am sure his Trathen relatives in Grass Valley would have a picture. Just a thought of the old days when the Nevada Theater was “legit”. I remember so well, as you did the first movie serial The Perils of Pauline, My goodness, awonderwe didn't have the wollie-gooblies atnighttosay nothing of watching the flickers and thats whats they should have been called, Wasn't itwonderful after weeks and weeks of being Friday night terrified that Pauline was finally rescued by the hero? Oh, dear happy uncluttered youth. My heart bled with every limb that fell from Nevada City's Christmas Tree Sequoia, .Mary Lockridge and I played house under that tree so many times when it was achieving its magnificent growth, In the house beside it mama and Aunt Selma Gilbert were having tea with her mother, Mr. Lockridge worked across the street at the Narrow Gauge depot. where you, too, worked so many years. So the wonderful tree of my childhood is gone and it makes me .very sad, It was so unnecessary. Progress they call it. Maybe to keep our sanity we must obey the Chinese proverb, .to sway with the wind instead of getting in a bind. .but I don't like it.
