Came together right away. First word of author’s name, most common letter, then the second word, and there it all was.

This one was quite quick, except for the author’s name…

Solution to last cryptogram:

KINDNESS IN WOMEN, NOT THEIR BEAUTEOUS LOOKS, SHALL WIN MY LOVE.---SHAKESPEARE

Bonus trivia

Taming of the Shrew, Act 4, Scene 2

In the movie Kiss Me Kate! the plot revolves around a musical with songs by Cole Porter based on this play. Hence, my clue yesterday: A musical within a movie based on a play by W. Shakespeare.

Fun!
Guessed the abbreviated word, but got it wrong.
My go-to word didn’t make sense as the second word so I made it the tenth word. This opened the CG.

Second word by inspection. It kinda fell into place from there.
