    Got Limelight story back from Mrs Jenner, her criticism: characterisation isn't good; it is far too long; characters subservient to the plot rather than the plot dependent on the characters; it won't sell as it is but the plot is quite good.   It was a shock to hear that the conversations were confusing and garrulous.

    Swimming in afternoon.

    Peg and I played Mrs Smalley and Joyce (? who), and called a small slam and made it.
