| Content Summary: | If Irving is going to tour the provinces and the Carl Rosa Co. are not at Liverpool, would Irving use the theatre? It would make Rosa proud and he would make the Company comfortable. There is a good dressing room next to the stage. | ||

| Content Summary: | Just seen Irving as Hamlet for fourth time - analyses some portions. His father, who came that night, saw Macready as Hamlet but says he never saw better than Irving. Rose says no actor can approach him in the part. P.S. He reminds Irving he is the author of 'Columbus' and adaptor of 'Little Dorrit'. | ||

| Content Summary: | The Queen will confer the honour of knighthood and Rosebery feels he is a welcome channel for the announcement. It is not merely Irving it is desired to honour but his profession, his exertions in raising its standards and status as well as his lavish and conscientious efforts to elevate the drama itself and its influence. Irving will be the first of his profession, and he mentions great past actors not honoured. It will be a satisfaction to Irving and a pleasure to Rosebery that it occurred during his time in office. | ||

| Content Summary: | He was delighted in the leading column of that day's 'Daily Telegraph' to do justice to the national interest of Irving's 'Macbeth'. Although an old playgoer he was never before so moved by any scene as the acting of Irving and Ellen Terry after the murder. As a boy he saw Macready and he mentions one significant line of his as a possible hint. He could not write as a critic, but agrees more with the 'Times' than the 'Daily Telegraph' critic. Irving and Ellen Terry are Shakespeare's man and woman: former productions merely traditional. | ||
