TLS, one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Oceana Apartment Hotel letterhead, August 22, 1963. Laurel writes to a fan. In part: “Re: Stills of ‘The Devils Brother’ film—suggest you check with ‘Movie Star News’…. The Roach studio was in Culver City, Calif.—’Atoll K’ film was produced in France, by the Franco-London Film Corpn. Yes, I knew the late Will Rogers quite well. The film ‘Flying Deuces’ produced by Borros Morros was on a loan out basis—the ladies who appeared in ‘Sons of the Desert’ were the late Mae Busch & a lady named Christie (don’t recall her first name off hand). Yes, I am very familiar with Lancashire, England—I was born in Lancashire. I don’t know who gave permission to use the L&H film clips on the DuPont program you mention—we have no interest in them whatsoever unfortunately….” Sons of the Desert is generally regarded as among the finest of the L&H films; Atoll K, released in 1951, was the team’s last film together. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In very fine, fresh condition. Superb content related to one of the most legendary screen teams in history! PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
