Just "a" and "an" to put into proof. Telbin's name to each scene as Irving has put it is better than "the scenery of the 1st act" &c. Put in 105th time 'Corsican Brothers'. Irving can see him later. |

He has had a refined and noble treat. No play has been more magnificently staged - with art, intelligence and perfect appreciation of the picturesque. He praises features of the first act. Ellen Terry and Irving were superb with a vein of semi-savage roughness in both performances. The play could be seen as an old fashioned tragedy but it is a success. New Year wishes. |
