Thanks for agreeing and letting them know quickly - they are both very pleased. She gives the full name. Mrs Jopling is one of the godmothers and the christening is on 22nd to suit the Lawson Taits who are coming up for Mrs Keeley's birthday then touring in Kent. She prefers London, and describes a visit to see 'The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown', the Lord Mayor's Show and gives family news. She has not been to 'Romeo and Juliet' - and criticises Forbes- Robertson & Mrs Patrick Campbell. Miss M.A. Victor was good in 'Miss Brown', looking like a "benign old sheep". |
