Will Waspe
William Douglas Home, whose well-established piece. Lloyd George Knew My Father, isn't, of course, about Lloyd George, has a new play, At the End of the Day, which is about Prime Ministers, coming into London within the next two months. The playwright, wha has rather special sources of reference, has set this one at 10 Downing Street at the time of the 1970 election, and has been heard to confide that John Mills will play Harold Wilson as a North Country character part, while Michael Denison will play Ted Heath — straight.
If Winters comes...
Friends of Shelley Winters have been putting the story about that she will be seen on the stage here In Paul Zindel's The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-theMoon Marigolds, in which she has been touring the United States. Miss Winters, over the years, has been said to becoming to London in other plays, and Marigolds seems the least likely to materialise. The film version, with Joanne Woodward, can hardly be said to have been lavishly acclaimed; and a stage production mounted here a year or so ago with West End hopes, folded after playing at Guildford and Hampstead with Sheila Hancock in the lead.
Still missing
I see from Peterborough's Daily Telegraph diary, quoting Norman St John SteVas tn_Florence, that the Browning Iatitute is still seek I eg. thCbiliffn a I Browning bookcase fa Casa C;utdi. Unfortundtell Stevas has ,ho further clue thaa, that the bolikcase was owned by ,a Mrs Webb of Drayton Gardens:, ,kensington, in 1926, which 1 mentioned in these notes
a couple of months ago. I suspect the Browning Institute people
will have to resort to faking it eventually, a procedure that will not. I think, be unique at Casa Guidi.
