Forster, Edward Morgan. An ALS to Sir Henry Denny, discussing his involvement with the Pageant of Abinger, '19 Manchester Street, W.1. Dear Sir Henry, Thank you for your kind letter, and I shall be interested to hear of any developments as regards the Pageant. I fear though that my own sentiment is against any revival; while as regards the cinema-trade I can't help feeling that as at present organised, it vulgarises whatever it touches, so that I hope that its help will be found unnecessary. These are just personal reactions, but I give them since you have been so good as to communicate with me on the matter. With kind regards to Lady Denny and yourself: Yours sincerely, E.M. Forster', 2pp., on West Hackhurst notepaper, struck through, dated '21-3-36', together with a copy of the Pageant of Abinger programme, July 1936 (2)
