Frank Skinner Universal Contract Extension.
<B>Frank Skinner Universal Contract Extension.</B></I> Frank Skinner composed music forever linked with Universal films of the Golden Age, especially the horror classics. This two-page typed document, in which Universal Pictures Company, Inc. extends Skinner's original March 3, 1937 contract, is dated December 2, 1938 - just before Skinner composed his milestone score for the studio's <I>Son of Frankenstein.</B></I> Skinner had signed the agreement in full in black ink, as have Universal Vice-President Cliff Work and Assistant Secretary Edward Muhl. The signed agreement also features the Universal Pictures company, Inc. stamped seal. Skinner was composer of such all-time Universal hits as <I>Destry Rides Again</B></I> (1939), <I>Arabian Nights</B></I> (1942), <I>Harvey</B></I> (1950), and <I>Shenandoah</B></I> (1965), as well as (of course!) <I>Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein</B></I> ( 1948), eventually contributing to over 500 films. This is an outstanding artifact representing a great talent and his studio. Excellent condition. <I>Accompanied by LOA from PSA/DNA.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
