Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: 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.
