Armstrong's Last Goodnight'
Sirt,---1 did not say that the current production of rtnstrong's Last Goodnight had never been bettered but, being more concerned with the future 111, it 1s, past, 1 said that it surely never would be.
t1s, I hope I am there to see it.
Furthermore, by .`production' I don't of course mean only individual performances. Several of those at Chichester were less than perfect—Miss Geraldine IeRwen, for example, seemed one whit miscast— but the effect of the whole (and especially the final betrayal of Johnny Armstrong—a butterfly swal- lowed up by ants) was most impressive. Mr. Crane may rest assured that it is not' my in- tention to fool anyone, and, if I fool myself, then that's the hazard of a profession which requires one to be opinionated, a profession none the less as noted for bigots as for fools, though not without its fair share of both.
