TLS signed “Stan,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Oceana Hotel letterhead, January 3, 1962. Letter responding to the reader of a Laurel & Hardy book, in part: "In those early sound films you mention, we purposely didn't talk much, wanted to get familiar with the new medium before discarding the knowledge we were experienced with. I think that's why we survived the advent of sound—many of the good old silent comics all of a sudden thought they were actors & resorted to dialogue comedy which they knew nothing about—hence they went out of business. Yes, I remember the 'Below Zero' film very well, one of our early talkies. The sound at that time was recorded on disc records, so wasn't too good…The L&H version of 'Toyland' was run twice here on Xmas Day, very little was missing." Nicely matted with a portrait of the famous comedy duo to an overall size of 20 x 16. In fine condition.
