BRUCE NIGEL: (1895-1953) British Character Actor, portrayed Dr. Watson in a series of Sherlock Holmes films. A.L.S., Nigel Bruce, four pages, 8vo, Willow Road, Hampstead, n.d., to the actor O. B. Clarence. Bruce thanks his correspondent for his charming letter and adds that he thinks he made a delightful speech, continuing to remark 'if the whole tone of the meeting had been in that strain instead of the heated stupidity of one of the council more work & decisions might have been arrived at.' Bruce further discusses, at length, Equity ('a body with extreme 100% power') and the Stage Guild, trade unions and theatre managers, commenting 'I can not & will never agree with our chairman's remark that the Stage Guild is of any real power at all until it embodies the whole of the profession & until every member is a paid to date member & in my & the opinion of many friends of mine these conditions will only be arrived at when we ourselves become affiliated to the T.U.C. They won't dictate our business to us. But will enforce the rules our council itself makes for our own members.' A letter of interesting content. VG
