Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He has been to see 'Coriolanus' but was too tired and unfit to come round afterwards. Was very sad to see the empty stalls. Gives some detailed criticism of the scenery especially the borders being misplaced. He would have written before but it has been varnishing day at the Royal Academy and he is 'dead beat'. |

| Notes: |
After 34 performances in 1901 'Coriolanus' was withdrawn because of failing houses. Alma Tadema had begun initial designs for a production of 'Coriolanus' in 1880. |

He ruminates over their friendship of 37 years. He looks forward to Irving driving over Hounslow Heath in 10 days time to enjoy their lilacs. He will see his 'Ravenswood' memento framed. Merivale comments on the play. He criticises Sir Alexander Mackenzie's music for the Lyceum. He fled for a whisky & soda when his tune wouldn't stop on Tuesday night. He tells a story about Alfred Wigan. Would Irving consider a play about Savonarola for which he gives ideas? He goes to the Comédie Française on Wednesday night. |
