Scope and content

Ridgehurst, Shenley, Herts. - Discussion of Minos' speech at the end of Act I [of "The Bride of Dionysus"]. Trevelyan is quite right about "A[riadne]'s emotion & the lyric movement of her soliloquy in Act II'; this is very useful since he is saved 'pages of misdirected music'. Says that the love-duet between Theseus and Ariadne need not be very rich 'Th[eseus] is a very fine fellow but he needn't be much of a poet'. Suggestion of an additional line for Phaedra at the end of Act I. Has set Minos's speech provisionally. It is very good of Elizabeth Trevelyan to invite him.
