Covering letter enclosing photocopies of some photographs of Phyllis Bedells' early career that they hold in their collection.
The covering letter on headed notepaper encloses a photocopy of a page from The Play Pictorial including a photo of Phyllis Bedells in Fred Farmer's 1911 production of Sylvia at The Empire.
The letter is addressed to the mother of Phyllis Bedells and encloses a contract to be signed and returned. In the letter Edward Royce explains that he will teach Phyllis her dance himself and that she will be the Cornflower in the production, and will also do a hornpipe...
The letter written on behalf of the Managing Director - Mr [Walter] Dickson - points out that Phyllis Bedells is engaged by the Theatre until the end of next year, after which he hopes that her position at the theatre will be a most important one.
The letter offers congratulations on the success of The Dancing Master last night... with handwritten signatures.
