| Content Summary: |
He thanks Irving for a great treat. He would like some things altered but parts were perfection. He admires the last act although it is not his interpretation. He asks Irving to reconsider certain aspects of the Ophelia scene. Continuous performances of the same part inspire art but performances interrupted and varied by others mature art. He suggests Irving plays 4 or 5 Shakespeare characters throughout a year when he could attain a degree of excellence as great as any of his predecessors. Teddy wants to see Irving. |
