Thence to Cock Horse to cat, and I was stung exceedingly, and thence to town and to Shubert to see Water Hampden as Cyrano de Bergerac. By good fortune I did get a box seat at balcony fee--so great was the audience--and by more good fortune did seat aside Miss Williams of "Three Men on a Horse" comedy.

Wrote Author-Playwright Priestley (The Good Companions, Laburnum Grove) in the New York Times three weeks before his lastest play opened in Manhattan: " I should like to see more English plays here, more American plays in London... There will be disappointments, of course... The average New Yorker does not go to the theatre in exactly the same state of mind as the average London citizen. The former has a weakness for plays that tighten and then jangle his nerves. Our London audiences like to be gently moved, to melt into...
