Irving may have seen in 'The Era' correspondence between the Editor and himself about his performances. The critic doubts he had permission to use the names in his programme, and if so why. Would Irving write him a line to send saying he had his permission because he was only starting out and was the son of Clarkson Stanfield R.A. By doing this Irving will be doing him a great kindness. He soon begins an engagement at the Royalty Theatre. (Postscript:) Will Irving also state that he was represented by Mr Austin. |

She thanks Irving for the previous evening. Irving identifies well with different characters and as Claude Melnotte he understands the sufferings of a man of honour. Madame Terry is charming and seconds Irving perfectly. Costumes and incidental music are admirable. She thanks him for telling Baroness Burdett Coutts that she was in the house and was able to talk to her. Her granddaughter and the ladies with her expressed their enthusiasm. |
