Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for the exquisite pictures. Endorses nearly all Beaton's favourites. Wants to do a short article on the play for the "Theatre Arts Monthly" of New York. Asks Beaton if he would choose two copies of the photographs and allow Gielgud to use them to accompany his article. Was spellbound with admiration at Beaton's speed and deftness and infinite tact and patience with the actors and actresses.
