| Content Summary: | A new theatre is opening at Brighton which will not compete in any way with Mrs Chart's Company. An excellent town centre site has been secured. Before a public prospectus is issued would Irving consider being a director? No risk is involved. The manager would be subject to the directors, and their fees £150-£200. Kemble has declined the manager's post and Charles Brookfield has applied for it. | ||
