Part of Papers of Sir Cecil Beaton
Thanks Beaton for the photographs. They are buried in snow and cannot believe the sun exists. Hopes to go to Budapest and then to England in May for two months. Lady Abdy is here. She is a 'fascinating person' and hopes to act in some films here. Discusses a production of "Romeo and Juliet" that she saw at the Revolutionary theatre. It was comical. Romeo went to the Capulet ball dressed 'very realistically' as a brown bear. So the 'lovely' first meeting of the lovers was 'apparantly between a giggling little school girl and a brown bear'. Discusses the acrobatic abilities of the actors in another play. Thinks they will be there for the theatre festival. Would be glad if Beaton came to stay with them for it.
