"Note / Sentiment is out of fashion. Yet / "Bitter Sweet", which is nothing if / not sentimental, has not been a / dead failure. Thus we see that things / that are out of fashion do not cease to / exist. Sentiment goes on; / unaffrighted by the roarings of the / young lions and lionesses of Bloomsbury. / "Bitter Sweet" goes on too ; and / Mr. Cochran (being a sentimentalist) / has wished that this survival / should be commemorated by me in / some sentimental drawings, which / are here submitted to you. / Max Beerbohm"

Colour lithograph print of a Note by Max Beerbohm from his 'Heroes and Heroines of "Bitter Sweet"'', 1931. Noel Coward wrote the operetta 'Bitter Sweet' in 1929. The note reads: 'Sentiment is out of fashion. Yet "Bitter Sweet", which is nothing if not sentimental, has not been a dead failure. Thus we see that things that are out of fashion do not cease to exist. Sentiment goes on; unaffrighted by the roarings of the young lions and lionesses of Bloomsbury. "Bitter Sweet" goes on too ; and Mr. Cochran (being a sentimentalist) has wished that this survival should be commemorated by me in some sentimental drawings, which are here submitted to you. Max Beerbohm'. Charles Cochran produced the play at Her Majesty's Theatre, London. This Note is part of a set of six prints, the other five depict the play's cast members in their roles and Noel Coward (P1109).
