| Content Summary: | They went to G[eorge] Lewis' party the night before but Irving was not present. She is looking forward to 'Othello' - will Irving play Iago or Othello first? She has seen Edwin Booth in both. She hopes it is Iago first for Irving and explains why. Booth plays Othello like an elocution master and even his Lear is dry bones. The public is dull and stupid. Will Irving be at Mrs Stewart's lunch on Thursday? If he comes will he bring his little book to fix a Sunday date? Talk it over with Frank. | ||
