[J. Comyns Carr [Joseph William Comyns Carr], drama and art critic, theatre and gallery director.] Autograph Letter Signed, asking the dramatist Henry Herman for a box for his play ?The Silver King?.

See his entry, and Herman?s, in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. On first leaf of bifolium, with mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged, with strip of tape from mount adhering to blank second leaf. Folded once. Addressed to ?Dear Mr. Herman? and signed ?Jos Comyns Carr?. With reference to Herman?s play ?The Silver King? (co-written with H. A. Jones), which proved a huge success from its opening at the Princess?s Theatre in 1882. He begins by reminding him that he ?kindly said? he would send Carr ?a box for the Silver King when I was able to go?. He would have written to Herman before ?to name a day?, but he has not been very well. If he can let him have a box for the following Thursday he will be ?very much obliged?.
