| Content Summary: |
Irving will remember that he promised the Council of the RCM to act as annual examiner of the Operatic and Dramatic Class and to send a report based on impressions of 'Falstaff' on 11th December at the Lyceum (by Irving's invitation). Though not due until Easter Irving might like to clear the ground with his report. Parry hopes he was favourably impressed. They have to pay more attention to the music than the acting but seek a high standard. He is sorry to hear of Irving's accident. He was prevented from going to 'Richard III' the previous night. |
