| Content Summary: |
Little has given him more pleasure than making Irving's acquaintance. He remembered that in the past Irving had invited him to his theatre. Now living mostly retired by choice it will only be on rare occasions when he might avail himself of Irving's offer. He would have stayed for 'The Merchant of Venice' on Saturday week had he not arranged to take his wife and two daughters to 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in Brighton. Mrs Nye Chart lost £200 in a fortnight as it did not draw. He knows little of the current London stage but an old friend who collects the elder Kean has praised Irving's Shylock highly. His own capabilities as a writer have been exaggerated. |
