| Content Summary: |
He found Irving's point strong and difficult. The situation is that a pert young girl finds her lover is a murderer. It is a nightmare which must be treated with colour and truth. Ruth's momentary shrinking in terror will give dramatic contrast & value to her outburst of fidelity and tenderness. Will it do? Five minutes will put it in its place which he has indicated clearly. |
