Title:

John Gielgud Archive. Albums of cuttings, programmes, handbills and other ephemera, and some letters relating to Gielgud’s career; 1939-1985. Compiled by Gielgud’s sister Eleanor, who worked in the box-office at the Globe Theatre in the 1930s and became Gielgud’s secretary in 1946. Although the collection of press cuttings is remarkably full, there is anecdotal evidence to the effect that she took a personal dislike to certain periodicals and refused to keep cuttings from their pages.
