Author: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: 15A Grafton Street, Bond Street, W.
Recipient: Scott, Clement William >>
Address: -
Date: 1880, June, 11 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: He thinks they had better let the Furnival foolery drop. His alteration of the bill was wise - for one simply turns people away. He was surprised at his name being left out completely in the notice of 'Iolanthe'. The production owed its existence solely to him. If Carr's notice had been headed 'Miss Ellen Terry as Iolanthe' that would have been understandable but 'Lyceum' without any mention of the production of the little play was very odd. Or he thought so. Scott was away or he probably would have pointed out the injustice. Ellen Terry is exquisite in her part & her simplicity of method is a lesson to all artists. He wishes Mrs Clement would come & see the piece and his theatre which is very pretty in the summer dress. He is sorry to hear about 'The Theatre'. They must have a chat on the subject.
Published: -
Notes: F.J. Furnival had objected to the omission of Act V of 'The Merchant of Venice' for Ellen Terry's benefit on 20th May, to make room for 'Iolanthe'. Clement Scott took over 'The Theatre' in 1880 and presumably immediately had difficulties.
