Description

“If it is not too late, you can play Arms & the Man & You Never Can Tell from August”

ALS signed “G. Bernard Shaw,” one page, 3.5 x 4.5, The Guilford Hotel postcard, August 9, 1913. Letter to actor Dore Lewin Mannering, Jr. In part: “I have been away from London and…could not ascertain whether W. Algernon Grieg’s tour of You Never Can Tell was over or not. In fact, I don’t know now; but I conclude the theatres you mention…have not booked Y. N. C. T., or they would not take you on with it. So if it is not too late, you can play Arms & the Man & You Never Can Tell from August…until October.” Addressed on the reverse in Shaw’s hand. A bit of dampstaining affecting the last few lines and portion of the signature, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
