Reference	A3/1/19
Creator	Cecil Beaton
Covering Dates	Apr. 1952
Extent and Medium	1 p.; paper

Content and context

Would be thrilled if Van Druten would direct the play for him. Aldrich and Myers would leave him carte blanche. Is going to do the decors for Quadrille, the best play Noel [Coward] has ever done, in his opinion, and a lovely opportunity for Alfred [Lunt] and Lynn [Fontanne].
