Summary
A contemporary gives the following: King Edward went to see Duse in 'Cameliss' at Cannes in 1914, and the theatre manager was profusely apologetic about the deficiencies of the Royal box. King Edward cut him short in his usual tactful way. 'I would go to applaud Duse,' he said, 'if she were playing in a stable.' Quite interesting – especially since King Edward died in 1910.
