Summary
Concerning the theatrical manager Wilson Barrett's anxiety over the rights to the play based on Caine's novel The deemster [entitled "Ben-My-Chree"], and asking him to provide "three or four separate lines saying ... that the right of dramatization is held by me in perpetuity" in order to reassure Barrett and keep "unauthorized dramatists completely off the book."
