Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Burnand praises 'Much Ado' highly, particularly mentioning Telbin's church scene and discussing the architecture and dialogue from a Catholic viewpoint. He suggests Irving wrongly spoke "I will go get her portrait" at his exit like a man dashing to the photographer round the corner for a print of a fashionable beauty, and suggests Benedick should rather pause, muse, and find a happy inspiration. |

| Notes: |
'Much Ado About Nothing' opened on 11th October. Letter 1017 reveals that Irving accepted this suggestion. |

| Content Summary: |
Paul has been asked to write a couple of columns about 'Much Ado' for the 'New York Spirit' and the 'New York Mirror'. Reluctant to ask for tickets when Irving is doing such good business but three or four columns are worth the price of two seats or even one will do. Can it be any night next week? Encloses photograph from U.S.A. which Miss Lillie Hinton asks him to send. She was 'a quaint little creature and piquant' whom he met in London the previous summer. |
