DS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, July 8, 1932. Agreement between MGM Corporation and Barrymore, in which the latter affirms that he will "make all necessary and appropriate arrangements with said RKO Studios, Inc. to effectuate the postponement of the starting date of [his] services in connection with said photoplay 'Moon and Sixpence.'" Signed at the conclusion by Barrymore, and countersigned by MGM Vice President Louis B. Mayer. In fine condition. RKO originally bought the rights to produce a screen adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's The Moon and Sixpence in 1932 as a vehicle for leading man John Barrymore; the film was never produced as conceived, and an independent adaptation starring George Sanders was released a decade later.
