Kyrle Bellew managed the Theatre Royal Newcastle with Mrs Brown Potter, c.1888-98, and this performance may have been while Irving was on tour in 1897. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He told the editor of 'The Queen' it should feature the production of Laurence Irving's play. Pencil portraits of both Henry & Laurence Irving should be given and Sladen should interview Laurence or his father for a literary article. He needs portraits of both; an interview with one; and to see play on first night. Tell Irving it is not an ordinary interview. Hopes he is not knocked up by long tour. (Postscript:) No matter if can't manage, but it is to Irving's disadvantage if refuses. |

Before 'Peter the Great'. Sladen wrote to Stoker on 29th December saying he still had not received any answer and asking for a decision - the Editor-in-Chief was holding the front page. |
