An early promotional picture of Greta Wood.

This letter was written to, and published by, The Stage, on Friday 20 May, 1881.

Greta Wood studied at RADA and made her first London appearance in "Paddy the Next Best Thing", at the Savoy. In New York played with Jack Buchanan in "Wake Up and Dream", and has appeared with Flora Robson in four plays - "Autumn", "The Return", "Suspect", abd "The House by the Lake".
