Recap
Actors Charles Matthews and Victoria Vestris are performing The Tragedy of Othello in San Francisco as Paladin applauds from his personal booth. He sends them flowers and they look up to acknowledge his gift and his invitation to dinner. Over supper, they thank him for making their stay in San Francisco so pleasant. They inform him that they're heading for San Diego for its annual Round-Up, where they've been invited to play some scenes while the rest of their company heads east. Paladin warns that San Diego is a dangerous place but the actors are more amused than frightened. They insist that all audiences are receptive to Shakespeare and invite him to catch one of their shows. Once they leave, Paladin checks the advertisement for the actors' San Diego performance and sends his card to their manager, Lucien Bellingham...Read the full recap
