Letter
The Hallé, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
Paramount Theatre
1939

Griff writes to Ida that he'd love to go to the cinema with her after a walk, "we might bag a back row position, where we could doze in comparative obscurity and greater comfort."
He mentions some films they could see.
He brings her attention to the South Manchester School of Dancing's advert and its particulars.
The Hallé are planning their first ever Sunday evening concert, to be performed at the Paramount Theatre in aid of St Mary's Hospital.
Griff asks Ida not to be concerned about losing weight as she would only be shedding "non-existent surplus plumpness." To lighten the mood, he gives a short dissertation on a strange book he read purporting to show how women and men have fundamentally different tastes when it comes to laughter and comedy. He lays out a sort of experiment he conducted with an acquaintance.
