Have You Missed Me?

[Leslie Howard, Billy Rose Theatre Collection,
New York Public Library, c. 1920]

Hopefully, you all have missed my posts over the last several days. I have been diligently working on the "Leslie Howard Biography" section of my blog and haven't taken the time to write any daily posts.

It is a painstaking process of taking the pieces of various books, newspaper and magazine articles, and online sources, and figuring out how they fit together. For some reason, writers don't always put dates in their pieces. I have never been able to figure out why. Also, a story may appear in one source and not in another, which requires me to find a verification source. This, too, can be difficult if the second source got their information from the first source. And some of the stories, or episodes, of Leslie Howard's life vary. I assume this is because the author has a particular point of view they want to put across. Separating fact from opinion takes time as well. I hope at the end to have one coherent biography and also a chronology of Leslie Howard's life.

I would like to solidly complete "The London Theatre Years - 1916 to 1920" before I continue my daily posts. This should be within a day or two. Please bear with me.
