Sylvia Townsend Warner - 28 June, 1928
from The diaries of Sylvia Townsend Warner, page 19:
Thursday [28th] evening I went to see Boris Goudonov. Chaliapin with a bad Italian company. Chaliapin a more terrific actor than ever. Just as the curtain fell at the end of the fit scene I saw him turn his head - still watching that ghost in case it should pounce again. This was superb.
