Title: An hour of Herod at Peter Pan premier
Post by: paddythewriter on April 14, 2016, 09:54:17 AM

I remember reading somewhere in Andrew's brilliant book that one of the critics at the Premier was heard to state that after watching Peter Pan he was desperate for an hour of Herod (presumably to kill off all the children!!! ) and that JMB, quite naturally was not too pleased about it.
I can't find the quote now so does anyone know the exact words that were spoken and who said it, please?
Thanks

Hi,
I've managed to find it. :)
It's on page 117 of Andrew's book and it was Anthony Hope who said it.
Just thought someone else might be interested.
