Scope and content

The Athenaeum, Pall Mall, S.W.1. - Is delighted that [Edward] Renton is so efficient [see 7/70]. The 'Massacre of the Nereids' [in "The Bride of Dionysus"] 'Opens a Serious Door' but Tovey may see a compromise: this is more difficult in Act III than in Act I. Gives musical notation for the theme. Renton's suggestion to restore Tovey's 'old rejected long sequence is interesting' but he does not think it will work. Asks Trevelyan to find 'three cries' for the Nereids to utter in each act.
