| Content Summary: |
A magnificent performance in 'The Cup'. Hypercriticism may attack the double poisoning but he rejects it. Synorix is comparable to Aegisthus, Camma to Clytemnestra and Tennyson to Aeschylus. Sala will see him at the end of the week - Irving knows where. |
| Published: |
- |
| Notes: |
Comparison is with the 'Agamemnon' of Aeschylus. Irving played Synorix and Ellen Terry Camma. 'The Cup' opened on 3rd January 1881, and Sala has forgotten the changed year. |
