An appreciation by Geoffrey Whitworth
Geoffrey Whitworth, Director of the British Drama League, considers that Harley Granville-Barker's influence on the British theatre may be even more enduring than that of Garrick and Irving. In private and public life the charm of his appearance and personality was considerable, and Geoffrey Whitworth is an admirer of Granville-Barker as a person as well as a personality of the theatre
