Description

DeMille responds to a request for loaning out "the tablets of Mount Sinai granite which were used in The Ten Commandments and the robe worn by Charlton Heston"

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Paramount Picture Corporation letterhead, January 4, 1957. Letter to Clark Wilkinson, in part: "I do wish I could reply in the affirmative concerning the tablets of Mount Sinai granite which were used in The Ten Commandments and the robe worn by Charlton Heston in the film. At the present time these tablets are being made available whenever possible to churches of all faiths for display purposes. What the final disposition will be of the tablets and of the robe, I cannot say at this time. We have had so many requests for these and other items from the film from universities, museums and organizations that it would take a Solomon to make the decision." In fine condition, with trivial creasing to top edge.
