RUGBY, January 27.
The King has sent, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Sir Austen Chamberlain, the following message to the American Shakespeare Foundation:—
"The King commands me to express to you his sincerest thanks for your telegram, conveying the greetings of the American Shakespeare Foundation and to assure you of the deep interest with which His Majesty has learned of their participation with the British Shakespeare Committee in the rebuilding and endowment of the memorial theatre at Stratford-on-Avon.
"As patron of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, His Majesty welcomes the co-operation of the American Foundation, and cordially appreciates the assistance which the American actors and actresses are giving at benefit performances at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. He trusts that this may have results entirely gratifying to the cause which the two organisations have at heart."
