Had an interesting rehearsal with Miss Ryan. I brought along Miss Patti to assist me and to take notes. Even having one new person in the room immediately caused her to begin "pushing" in her opening number. She calmed down after that, and because I give notes after each act, her act two was much better - in fact, I had very few notes in act two - she just has to learn the patter - she keeps missing the jokes because she paraphrases so far away from the setups that she can't get back. And again, incorrect blocking on way too many things. Well, we'll work tomorrow and Tuesday evening, and then have about twenty people in on Wednesday night - after that, I'll know exactly what's in store and how tough I have to be. I think when she gets her laughs and gets reactions, that everything will settle down and she'll be wonderful.
