Description

“That was the first time I met Babe Hardy, never thought we’d become a team”

TLS signed “Stan,” one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, March 22, 1963. Letter to Buck Manbeck. In part: “Note there is a sequence, excerpt from ‘Lucky Dog’ in the new Youngson film (‘30 Yrs of Fun’) that was the first time I met Babe Hardy, never thought we’d become a team. Re: Mack Sennett—Mack died about three years ago at the Motion Picture Country House—had been ailing for some time. Yes he was with 20th. Century Fox a few years ago, it was one of those pension situations (Script reader) very seldom at the studio. Nothing sensational re: the L&H book…I never expected to make any great amount of revenue from it, so I am not disappointed…I had hoped that Doubleday would have issued it in paperback type at cheaper price, I think it would have done much better in the sales dept. it would have been in the reach of the L&H fans—(the masses).” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
