HERMIONE GINGOLD
Sir-In your issue of October 11 Miss Barbara Cooper challenges a statement she attributes to my script for Theatre of Music. I can only suggest that she listen to her radio more closely before throwing down the gauntlet with such careless abandon. Miss Cooper has evidently inferred from the words "On one famous o€casion" the two Hermiones starred together that I meant this to be taken as the only occasion. Not at all. The occasion itself was famous because Miss Gingold and Miss Baddeley burlesqued a play of, Noel Coward’s so outrageously that the author was highly indignant. In fact, he came perilously near to’ uttering that famous Victorianism, "We are not amused." The play in question, by the way, was not Fumed Oak, as. Miss Cooper so forthrightly declares. It was Fallen Angels-a point on which the script left no room for doubt.
