| Content Summary: |
Irving's letter has only just reached her due to a wrong number. She is free on Saturday afternoon to use the ticket he has sent. They are going to see Mr [Edwin] Booth in 'King Lear' the next night. They like what they have seen of Booth - he has not the physique of a great actor - but is thoughtful, accomplished and graceful. She hopes Irving will see him before he leaves the country - a great treat. The stage at present has too few such actors. It is sad to see how Mr Booth is surrounded - she hardly knows how he gets on at all. Mr Theodore [Martin] sends regards. |
