ADVICE TO A YOUNG ACTOR COWARD, NOËL. Autograph Letter Signed, to a young admirer ("Dear Robert Bishop"), replying to his letter about his theatrical ambitions, "I had a miniature theater when I was younger than you & I have never forgotten all the pleasure it gave me. I think taken all around, it is a good plan to go to a training school . . . although I did not do so myself. I rather advise it as it is so much easier to get an opening through a school than on one's own." 1 1/2 pages, 4to, "17 Gerald Road" stationery, written on the recto and verso of a single sheet; folds, one just touching signature. London, 29 [July 19]41
