Scope and Content

Typescript letter signed to Beaton. Sir Donald has shown them Beaton's letter posted in New York. He wants Beaton to be reminded that within one week of rehearsals he requested to be released from his part. He was committed to play certain theatres without prior knowledge yet respected these engagements. Press reports prove that he did his utmost to save a "badly constructed part" far from the "star vehicle" he had signed for. He has been a respected actor manager for 21 years and is a member of the Society of West End Managers. He is "astonished" at the abuse contained in Beaton's letter and will take legal action should Beaton make his denunciation public.
