| Published: | Boston Herald, 30 Oct., 1886; Brereton, Vol.II, p.102. | ||
| Notes: | Denounced by Irving on 29th October as a forgery. Charles Hudson had been accused by some New York critics of burlesquing Irving in 'Claudian' which opened on 13th October 1886. Barrett wrote an explanatory letter to the American papers, disclaiming the charge, and quoting correspondence. "Dad" was Hudson's father, James, a member of the Lyceum Company who denied the charge against his son. Possibly the press stirred up the controversy. | ||

| Content Summary: | He is sure the growth of suburban theatres will increase the number of playgoers, and widen local rational amusements. So many social considerations are involved that it is difficult to assess the effect on the West End, but he does not think the Strand will be deserted at night. He is sure they will continue to make a little money from the suburban playgoer. | ||
