Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Thursday, 11 August 1932

 

 

Talking to Mrs Shelley. Ribbons rang up re Shaw—no news yet.

     

Wrote Ribbons: With regard to our Mortaldello [Crowley was trying to stage a production of his play Mortadello] venture, I want to urge on you the necessity of very swift action. There are people already interested, but the contracts have to be clinched. Plenty of other people are after them, and if we don’t push the job through, those others will get ahead of us. So I do hope that you won’t lose a single hour. I ought to be in Berlin next week. If, as you suggested, Shaw can come along with me, so much the better. If I can fix Pabst at once (Reinhardt will take longer) you’ll be “on velvet” from the start. A.C.
