She was sorry to miss Irving on Saturday, and it will be impossible to be at home at the Children's Hour as she has a Committee at the Art Students' Home until late afternoon. It is not her usual day and her husband did not know she had arranged it. They are only away for a few days and when they return she hopes Irving may come to see her. She wishes to hear of his future plans and about a play sent to him by a Mrs Lockwood. She was about to write to him enclosing the play and letters... |

He saw the first performance of 'Much Ado About Nothing' on Wednesday ... as perfect a representation of a Shakespearean play as possible... The work at Irving's theatre does so much to create new playgoers which they want far more than new theatres, and perhaps new plays. |

He books Sunday 22nd at 8pm. It was a complete and perfect performance as many say. He was dining at Ferdinand de Rothschild's on Thursday and heard unanimous and enthusiastic approval from the "swells" - the same wherever he goes. He comments on hostile critics as described by Massinger, saying malignity is deep and inexaustible. The 'Illustrated London News' was printed before Irving's Benedick. Sala's criticism of 'Much Ado' will be none the worse for a week's keeping. |
