Understands Myers and Aldrich are trying to secure Cecil Parker for the role of Gainsborough and Peter Glenville as the director. Wished they had let him arrange this earlier, and the play had been presented at the Duke of York's Theatre, newly decorated by Cecil Beaton, for the opening. Informs them that Cecil Beaton is on his way to New York. Tries to persuade them to open the play in Brighton for the Festival of Britain rather than London, as he relies on the Queen visiting the play there, and cannot find the right cast for London. |
