Description

“I’m glad you liked the performance of ‘Plough & The Stars’—a very hard play to do well”

Collection of three ALSs, each one page, dated from 1939 to 1956. The first, dated March 20, 1939, in part: “Enclosed is a review of ‘Cavalcade.’ I hope it may be suitable. I was very gratified with all that Mr. Desmond McCarthy said about ‘I knock at the Door.’” The second, August 10, 1956, in part: “I’ve been very ill for some months in the hospital, and am still fighting for a fuller recovery.” The third, November 12, 19156, in part: “I’m glad you liked the performance of ‘Plough & The Stars’—a very hard play to do well. A good production shows a play off, a bad production of a good play does the play harm. Of course, the performance of any art by artists present in the body is far and away preferable than the disembodied phantoms of voice on the Radio or shadow on the film.” In overall fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
