Has not heard from Irving for a long time. Would he like to lunch one day either at Adelphi Terrace or the Savoy Hotel? Carte is wheeled round to the Restaurant. Congratulations on 'The Medicine Man' . Hichens is a writer of extraordinary power. He comments on H.B.Irving's 'Life of Judge Jeffries [Jeffreys]'. Irving must be proud. Also comments on Laurence Irving's playwriting. Putting on soon, a romantic piece at the Savoy by Sullivan who has his heart in it. |
