Sir,-May I be permitted to make a correction to Miss Barbara Cooper’s letter on Miss Gingold? The show in which the two Hermiones, Gingold and Baddeley; appeared as co-stars was not Sweet and Low, but Sky High, at the Phoenix Theatre. Sweet and Low was the first of a series of three revues, the other two being Sweeter and Lower and Sweetest and Lowest, in which Miss Gingold starred with Henrys Kendall at the Ambassadors. The sea-shell scene Miss Cooper refers to was one of the highlights of a brilliant show which, in spite of the talents of the two Hermiones, was not a financial success, only running for about 16 weeks. As one of the cast and stage manager, it is pleasing to know all our efforts to amuse have not been entirely forgotten, if a little dimmed with the naecinge nf time
