DAME SYBIL THORNDIKE
Sir-I am rather afraid that Mr. Maxwell-Stewart is not so familiar with the London stage as he would have us believe. Dame Sybil Thorndike was a London stage personality long before
Saint Joan. 1 remember her performance of Medea at the Duke of York’s Theatre before the 1914 war (and what a performance it was!). She also rented the Holborn Empire Music Hall for a season of The Trojan Women that won great acclaim. I saw her often in plays by Ibsen and Shakespeare at the Old Vic in the Waterloo Road when I lived in London before the First World War.
