Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
An old dramatic critic is pleased at the merited if late recognition of Irving's splendid work for the theatre. He has sometimes said Irving's work has fallen short of his own high standards, but even when they disagreed, the aim and artistic instinct of the work deserved serious consideration. |
