Description

Awaiting a long-rumored Laurel and Hardy biopic

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10, Oceana letterhead, December 28, 1959. Letter to an admirer. In part: “Regarding the songs we used in several of our films, 'Lazy Moon,’ 'Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia,' 'Shine on Harvest Moon,' etc. to my knowledge there were no disc recordings ever made of them—the only way you could get them is to tape record them from the film. There has been some talk of making the story of L&H but so far nothing has developed. No, I did'nt [sic] see the 'Golden Age of Comedy' film, but many of my friends have told me about it, so am pretty well familiar with the contents…Regarding a book on the career of L&H, this has been finished for some time, but so far have'nt [sic] been able to get it published. Happy to say we never suffered any serious accidents during the making of the films, a few minor ones once in a while.” The original mailing envelope is affixed by tape to the upper portion of the letter. In very good condition, with tape to edges of letter, scattered toning, and two blocks of old tape toning at bottom. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
