TLS, one page, 6 x 8, personal letterhead, October 31, 1945. Letter to an admirer. In part: “I’m sorry you had to see the Universal picture, I certainly was not proud of it. There is some talk of them bringing out The Wizard of Oz again in which I played the good fairy with Judy Garland, I hope they will do that as it was a lovely picture. They wanted me to play in the Great Ziegfeld, but you see I was a young girl in those days and I did not feel I wanted to play it at this late date, but some day I am sure a good picture will come along which I hope you will like and I will like too.” Matted to an overall size of 8 x 10. In fine condition. Burke is most likely alluding to the 1945 musical Swing Out, Sister. At this time, Universal’s ‘B’ musical unit was on its last legs, producing musicals for just one more year after. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
