4 lines ms on verso of a flyer for Michael Rindar's tango lessons, signed by Shaw with customary flourish, folded; v. sl. chipped at edge, fold starting. This note is a memento of a quirky literary anecdote, namely that one of the greatest playwrights in the English language famously but improbably learned to tango while staying in Madeira for a rest cure in 1924. He here addresses his teacher, Micahel Rindar, as 'The only man in Madeira who would teach me anything'. He later confirmed this opinion on the record, telling the New York Times 'He was the only man who taught me anything while I was on a holiday in that land,' adding rather cryptically that 'The tango seemed to me the only modern dance that required either thought or study. You see I must know everything, else I could not write about everything.' Mr Rindar thereby has an oblique but touching claim to having animated a renowned curmudgeon, thereby advancing world literature in some small way.
