Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He congratulates Irving on a brilliant performance and to his return to health and to the battle. He wants to suggest a few things Irving could remedy. He criticises aspects of the first prison scene, the 'spinet' scene, the shadows cast by the spirits in the Conciergerie which do not move. Terror was not sufficently evident in the scene before the Convention. In the last scene Dodsworth's aside to Bellew was too loud. He sends congratulations to Laurence whom he had only seen in the early eighties. He is glad to see the good reviews helping financial as well as artistic success. |

| Notes: |
After the first night of 'Robespierre', Irving may have invited detailed professional criticism. Dodsworth played Fouché and Bellew, Olivier. |
