Dr Forbes Winslow congratulates Irving on the splended performance he witnessed the other evening. The study of Hamlet, the question of real or feigned madness has been frequently discussed by psychologists; the character as delineated by Irving was doubtless that intended by Shakespeare. The Ophelia of Miss Ellen Terry is one of the most perfect Dr Winslow has ever seen - the absence of all exaggeration in the mad scene and the quiet demeanour brings the acting like reality. It is difficult to feign madness as there is always over acting and exaggeration. The doctor is writing an article for the Medical Journal on the psychology of the performance but intends to see the performance two or three times before this. Forgive him for writing. |

She seldom sees Irving, and must write though she is told he detests letters and doesn't read half of them. She loves Shakespeare and especially 'Hamlet' and lists some of the many questions she wants to ask Irving. She thinks he is the greatest born actor they have ever had. Rossi and Charles Mathews cannot compare; the nearest is Sarah Bernhardt. She analyses Irving's Hamlet the day before. |
