Description

Lantz cans an animated story on the birth of Jazz

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.75, Walter Lantz Productions, Inc. letterhead, November 14, 1962. Letter to Jordan Ramin of Liza Music Corporation. In part: “I read your script titled ‘Crato’s Original Stone Age Jazz Band.’ It is an interesting idea and I enjoyed it very much. We cannot produce your script because it envolves [sic] too many characters and would be too costly…Our stories are written by our own staff of writers. We do not use any characters other than the ones we create. Your idea has a lot of merit. I believe that it would make a very good musical album. An animated short would not help to promote it very much.” In fine condition, with mild toning working in from edges and some light creasing along right side. Liza Music was a record and music development company co-owned by Elizabeth Taylor and her step-son Mike Todd, Jr. RRAuction COA.
