	Encyclopedia: Gielgud Theatre
		The Gielgud Theatre, named after British actor John Gielgud, is a West End theatre in London's Shaftesbury Avenue at the corner of Rupert Street.
		Gielgud was advised not to seek work in the United States for at least four years as he likely would be being refused entry by American immigration authorities.
		Gielgud could be seen as having made the career of his greatest acolyte, Laurence Olivier, his only rival for the title of Greatest Shakespearean Actor of the 20th Century, a contest most felt that Gielgud won due to the beauty of his phrasing and more cerebral interpretation of Shakespeare.

	John Gielgud: A life in the theatre (1904-2000)
		In his more self-deprecating moments, Gielgud would claim that their greatest legacy to him had been the ability to shed tears at the drop of a hat, but he also reported how impressed he was by their huge athletic voices and their clarity of diction.
		Gielgud spoke with hints of regret that Olivier was able to conjure such a magnificent physicality almost effortlessly, compared to his own painful contortions.
		Gielgud was already being accused of exploiting his magnificent voice and of mining the same seam of romanticism in the late 1940s.

		The theatre’s opening was not as auspicious as was hoped, the first show, Sugar Bowl, a comedy by Madeleine Lucette Riley, only ran for 36 performances and was quickly followed by an assortment of equally short-lived plays and comedies.
		The National Theatre made its Shaftesbury Avenue debut in 1966 with A Flea in her Ear, The Royal Hunt of the Sun and Othello.
		In 1999 Delfont Mackintosh Theatres Limited acquired the freehold of the Queen’s and the Gielgud Theatres from Christ’s Hospital, Horsham.

	Queen's Theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Queen's Theatre is a theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue in the West End of London, next to the Gielgud Theatre, as whose twin it was designed by W.
		As opposed to the Gielgud, whose exterior has little changed, the facade of the Queen's Theatre was hit by a German bomb in September 1940 so that the theatre today has a modern shell and an Edwardian interior.
		As part of this scheme, the foyer will be amalgimated with the adjoinding Gielgud Theatre (also owned by Mackintosh), and the Queen's is to be reformed into 1200 seats over two levels.

	The British Theatre Guide: Gielgud's Letters
		Gielgud was of fighting age when the Second World War broke out but physically he was not up to it.
		By 1953, Gielgud had become more overt in his sex life and in that his tastes, exclusively male, were illegal, disaster was almost inevitable.
		Gielgud entered milieus in London and eventually New York where his tastes could be accommodated and as a result, the letters became risqué.

	Playbill News: John Gielgud, Towering Theatre Figure, Is Dead at 96
		Gielgud began a film career, but was never as lucky on the screen as he was on the stage.
		Gielgud's name was beginning to fade from the public consciousness, he appeared in a little-heralded Dudley Moore comedy called "Arthur." In the film, he was an ultra-imperious and dryly witty English butler, ministering to the every whim of Moore's drunken playboy millionaire.
		Gielgud, who was knighted in 1953, did not come upon his passion and talent for acting by accident.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Goodnight, sweet Prince
		Though Gielgud's grandparents were Polish, the family was originally Lithuanian; the Counts Gielgud held castle Zamek Gielgud until the revolution in 1831.
		Although Gielgud made his film debut in 1924 in Who Is The Man?, he first found fame at the movies in Shakespearean drama, starring in Julius Caesar and Richard III in the '50s.
		Gielgud, who claimed he got his distinctive, clipped speech by imitating the vocal delivery of Aldous Huxley, whom he met at Oxford, financed his own retirement by doing TV commercials for Paul Masson wines.

	Biography for John Gielgud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		On October 21, 1953, Gielgud was arrested in Chelsea for soliciting a homosexual act in a public lavatory.
		Thus, the Gielgud bust could be seen as the start of a gradual thaw in attitudes that led to the 1967 overturn of laws criminalizing homosexuality during Harold Wilson 's second ministry.
		Gielgud's 1955 go at Shakespeare's "King Lear" was a failure, and his style of acting went out of fashion after the kitchen-sink theatrical revolution heralded by the Royal Court's May 1956 staging of John Osborne 's "Look Back in Anger".

		On the night of John Gielgud's death the lights of the Gielgud Theatre and 12 others in the Really Useful Group were dimmed for three minutes as a tribute.
		At the New Theatre in 1935, where he and Olivier famously alternated as Romeo and Mercutio, at the Queen's Theatre in 1937-8 and at the Haymarket in 1944, he laid the foundations for post-war British theatre.
