Description

“Really what a silly old bag Miss Rutherford has turned out to be 'Useless and Selfish’”

ALS signed “Rex,” eight pages on two sets of two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 7, Royal York Hotel letterhead, October 30. Letter to his friend Binkie regarding the casting of a play. In part: “We might be home mid February, which brings me to your letter about the ‘Aunt.’ Really what a silly old bag Miss Rutherford has turned out to be 'Useless and Selfish’—What kind of play does she think this is? Oh well, I suppose we’d better hang on to her in this case—but my thoughts are these—(and surely there is no need to actually cast till the spring). The play play’s best with a timid Aunt…I could, I’m sure, adopt it to a driver such as Rutherford, and I’m not saying that the play mightn’t get additional bounces, from a purist standpoint, give me a timid mouse everytime.” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
