|
| Much
of
the
material in this presentation is from early film
and
television and the quality is not of the high
standard we now expect.
The rarity value, however, we believe makes up for
the visual
imperfections. |
|
| The
second session of the event
consisted of a talk by Sheridan Morley with
contributions from John
Lahr. |
|
| The afternoon session was devoted to a workshop on the songs of Noël Coward taken by David Kernan. |
