Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 20 April 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 34. WATER/TAURUS,
10 1/2 Miss St George. Explain Liber LXV.
10 Hanover Sq bills: Touche letter.
Tot: 1 5/6 [Heroin].
Day of heavy work.
NB Extra
11 3/4 chez Munro. Hopes circa £60.
“Ladies in Retirement” at regal, pretentious vulgar house, reminding one of those ghastly “province” joints in Berlin. The German Jew in heaven! Film the most discomfortable I ever saw; even more so than Caligari!! Technique poor; Ida Lupino incredibly monotonous. A bad and unintelligible ending & a Chaplin walk-off which settles nothing and is out of character. No really sympathetic person. Still, a great story, if you can believe it. The two sisters acted very well indeed.
Discovered edema in right ankle.
7.35 PM true time. Message: [I Ching hexagram] 5 Hsu=Wait.
