Description

“I am glad you waited for Clark Gable because he was exactly the man for that part”

TLS signed “Sloki,” one page, 8.25 x 11, October 20, 1936. Letter to Mr. and Mrs. John Emerson at MGM Studios. In part: “I finally saw ‘San Francisco’…I am glad you waited for Clark Gable because he was exactly the man for that part. But all the casting was equally ideal…I loved it when Gable asked about opera ‘How long has this thing been going on?’ The whole script is full of the most wonderful humor. Not those artificial jokes that are pasted on to so many scripts, but things that arise out of the story naturally.” Letter has a black plastic border affixed to the edges, as well as a caption affixed to the top, also with a border. In very good condition, with aforementioned borders, intersecting folds, and scattered creases and wrinkles. RRAuction COA.
