Content Summary: If one could defeat unnecessary prejudice against the stage, he is sure Redfern would be the [champion?] whether or not he is successful. The effort does him great credit. Irving feels he can speak on behalf of the dramatic profession in expressing thanks.

Notes: A copy. Austin Brereton in a note explains that Redfern was negotiating for a regular theatre to be open during term time in Cambridge. He wished authority to be removed from the University to licensing magistrates, as it was everywhere except Oxford. Redfern informed Brereton that he had received 5 letters from Irving, two others concerning an offer of Kemble's stage boots and an invitation to lay the foundation stone of the New Theatre, Cambridge, a ceremony finally performed by Beerbohm Tree.

Author: Wertheimber, Henri >>
Address: Charing Cross Hotel
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: [London]
Date: 1882, Jan., 27 Fri.
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: Wertheimber has telegraphed Mme Ristori with the substance of their conversation dwelling on Irving's kindness, advice, unfavourableness of season etc. and lack of suitable scenery. Her answer came his morning - she thanks Irving warmly. If he should elect to give her an opening, under his advice she would engage the very best talent. For a production of 'Macbeth' and 'Elizabeth' by a foreigner in the off-season she did not think public would expect splendid scenery. Interest would be in first appearance of a foreign artist using English language. The Press would support her. Could Irving consider this and give Wertheimber an interview asap?
Published: -
Notes: Also attached Werheimber's printed card with message 'Will you kindly remember to speak to Mr Irving about Madam R's appearances. Will see you tomorrow at 3 as appointed today'. (Probably written to Stoker.) 'Elizabeth' by Paolo Giacometti was a successful play for Ristori also in America.
