    About this ebook

    Under the circumstances, McHugh would probably have been wiser never to have attempted such a revival. Had he cared to open his ears he might have heard warnings in plenty, for Woodford’s Theater had become a tradition in the profession, an evil one, a menace, in short, for the superstitious.
    It is difficult to trace such beliefs to a reasonable source. Few along Broadway attempted it. The stock company, which five years ago had opened the house for a winter’s campaign, offered sufficient testimony. If there was nothing more than rumor behind the theater’s reputation, why, people asked, had that company within a week abandoned its lease and forfeited its guaranty? Why had its leading man on the final night rushed from the stage, his eyes fixed, shaken throughout as if by some experience beyond human comprehension?

      Brideshead Revisited

      Dec 17, 2021

      WHEN IT was first mooted that Evelyn Waugh’s 1945 novel Brideshead Revisited might be turned into a TV series there were many raised eyebrows. Waugh is probably best known for his satirical novels Decline and Fall, A Handful of Dust and Scoop!, but B

      By Oliver Soden Weidenfeld & Nicolson £30 The public persona Noël Coward first displayed to the world in the 1920s – the clipped way of speaking; the cigarette in its long holder; the tailor-made suit; the martini at hand – belied the fact that he wa
