SIR,—David Pryce-Jones has got me wrong. I said that the
National Theatre was like a lending library, not that it actually was one. • In other words, it performs the same kind of service to the drama that a library does to literature; but what it makes avail- able are theatrical productions, not books. Is this really a 'chilly' concept? I find it heart-warming.
