Scope and content
Is sorry that he could not ring Beaton this morning. Had serious talks with John (Gielgud) last night and they feel that only John, Beaumont, Beaton, Conway and Gladys Cobb should be allowed into the dress rehearsal. Discusses difficulties with the chandelier. Is sorry to be difficult, but is anxious that the play should be a success, particularly as it is the first peace-time production. Was delighted with the "'Dandy Dick"' this morning.
