Thanks for great treat when totally enthralled by performance. Her father although hard to please would have enjoyed 'Hamlet'. She thanks Irving for employing Harold [Kyrle Bellew] who has much to learn but she hopes will become a good actor. She is now in country for a long time and tentatively asks to see 'The Lady of Lyons', wishing continued success to the Lyceum. |
