Scope and content

Quayle sent a cable to him yesterday care of Harold Freedman. Having acted for so many years in costume plays in Stratford he now wants to act in plays set in modern settings. He is moreover going to play the leading part in Arthur Miller's "View from the Bridge" which he mentions as being banned in England, and has a long-standing obligation to Michael Powell to make a film for him the following year. Although Gainsborough is a fine part it is not what he wants to do "at the juncture of [his] life". Hopes Beaton will understand. Congratulates him on all the honours earned in the States.
