HERMIONE GINGOLD
Sir,-I'd like to challenge the statement made by, I think, Peter Harcourt, in the script he wrote for the "La Gingold" programme. He mentioned the two Hermiones, Gingold and Baddeley, and said that they had been together only once, in Noel Coward’s Fumed Oak. I saw the two of them in at least one wartime revue, Sweet and Low, and remember them best as a couple of shop-soiled mermaids, passing the time ef day in a_ sea-shell. Subsequently, Hermione Baddeley took up film work and La Gingold a barbed little number ealled "Oh, I*Miss Her-. mione Baddeley." ~ As a long-term fan of Hermione Gingold’s, it was a pleasure to renew acquaintance with her, though I could have wished that the introduction had been sherter and an extra number included; for instance, ‘The Borgia Orgy" broadcast in Britons an Broadway, and which I had heard in London in 1943. Thus proving, perhaps, that good revue material is not always ephemeral.
