Scope and content
Has wanted to write but has had no time. It seems as though his play is 'really coming off'. It will not be finished until early January and rehearsals will start in early February. Saint Subber is producing the play and the Gish sisters will star in it. Virgil Thompson will do the music. Would like Beaton to do the sets and costumes. Discusses details of the sets and scenes. Asks if Beaton would be interested in doing this. They have not settled on a director yet. Jack has sold two stories this week. Has not been worrying about Beaton because has read in the paper that he has been entertaining his 'favourite houseguest'.
