Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Sunday, 22 August 1943
[I Ching hexagram] 18.
“Difficulties” the longest hardest & most agonizing attack of constipation I have had in years.
The whole day [I Ching hexagram] 18 Ku for health.
Went to “Mr Lucky”: the best and most exciting semi-gangster film I’ve seen for years—although the story is commonplace Love for a Good Woman redeems Hardened Reprobate: with some help from an Aged Momma(?) & two patriot-martyr brothers. Wisecrack Dept brought in Riming Slang: at least, the first half.
Before it—a horror “King of the Keyboard” A “famous pianist” (Arthur Dulay) like a butcher’s assistant in appearance and execution, playing and talking to the incredibly nauseating “Alvar Liddell” Ugh!
