Folger-specific note
From dealer's description: "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (1959) 4 double weight 10 x 8" photos, all with credits for the production and also photographer Fred Fehl's stamp on verso, scattered creasing, near fine. This production was seen on Broadway for a limited run of about seven weeks, beginning on September 17, 1959. Photos are single portraits of leads John Gielgud (who played the role of Benedick, and also directed this production) and Margaret Leighton (Beatrice) and two portraits as well of the two of them. The production was well received, and critics praised Gielgud's overall approach as a director. This was early in his new career as a theater director, and an important milestone for him."
