Scope and content
Discusses Beaton's feature on "London Today". Mentions various pictures he could do. Talks about the "idiocy" of theatre hours in summer. Feels that one of the most characteristic things about the war is that women carry string bags everywhere in case they pick up anything, and no one is idle. Wonders if Beaton could make one of his illustrations a London square with the railings down and no grass left. Discusses the picture of Francoise Rosay.
