| Content Summary: | Great appreciation of Irving's Benedick the previous night. When very young he had seen an old Charles Kemble, then his idol Macready with whom he once spent a few hours. Then Charles Kean when his wife first courted him. Irving & Ellen Terry are the equal of them all. Haxell went with a Quaker lady descended from George Fox who now cannot keep out of the theatre. He is sorry modern prosperity limits the number of Irving's roles. He comments on other cast members, Haviland and Terriss. | ||

| Content Summary: | Great thanks for a box in such a packed house. He praises 'Henry VIII'. He likes Irving's Wolsey; with an entirely new reading, less heavy than usual he was Wolsey - and he saw Macready. He praises the musicality of the Farewell speech. Why is Irving overworking? He hopes Irving saw his pretty wife Edith who also sends praise. He hopes Irving received the roses they sent. | ||

| Content Summary: | Literature is not a drawback to a playwright's success. Original plays produced at the Lyceum are evidence to the contrary, e.g. Tennyson & Wills. Nor does a general survey of the stage support Herman's story, with six or more remarkable plays. Herman and his collaborator Mr Jones should be proud to have 'The Silver King' on this list. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | In a grangerized book. Typewritten transcript in THM/37/7/2. 'The Silver King' was a very popular play by Henry Herman and Henry Arthur Jones, first performed in 1882. | ||
