Description

“Re the L&H films, we never had regular rehearsals as is the custom of stage shows, for the reason we never had complete scripts…if he felt good we’d shoot it”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, February 3, 1960. Letter to an admirer. In part: “Re the L&H films, we never had regular rehearsals as is the custom of stage shows, for the reason we never had complete scripts, so we’d talk over each scene as we came to it, then run through it with action on the set, & if he felt good we’d shoot it, & if it was’nt just right, it was made again with necessary changes. I don’t recall the title of the first short we made, that was over 30 years ago–we made over 200 films, so its difficult to remember…I have a few of the L&H scripts, but they are packed away & in Storage–I doubt if they would be of use to anyone, as they were rough outlines of story ideas & without dialogue–gags or routines, so they would be of no value for stage presentation.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, toning to corners from old tape, as well as tape applied to edges. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
