TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Cecil B. DeMille Productions, Inc. letterhead, July 16, 1936. DeMille writes the treasurer of Boston-based Christianson, MacKinnon & Company. In part: “Replying to your letter of June 29th in which you state that Dr. James Henry Larson has approached you with a view to interesting you in the production of religious subjects: The pictures of this type that I have made have been very satisfactory both ethically and financially; but with each one, I have experienced great difficulty in obtaining financing from the major distributing companies that handle our pictures. In spite of the happy results obtained from making pictures of this type, there is, nevertheless, a strong prejudice from the producing companies against any picture with a religious motive.” In very good condition, with intersecting horizontal and vertical folds with one passing through his middle initial, and light creasing and mild wrinkling.
