RATHBONE, BASIL
(1892 - 1967) English stage and film actor, remembered for his superlative performance as Sherlock Holmes opposite Nigel Bruce's Dr. Watson. Fine, late A.L.S. ""Basil"" 2pp. 4to., New York, Feb. 17, 1967, to Natalie Hammond, founder of the Hammond Museum. In small part: ""àI am sending you my programme & stage requirementsàI want as much as possible for my audience to feel they are in a room with me so that the only area to be lighted is just that area in which I work. House lights are out, & stage lights come on just as in the theatre. Perhaps you or Miss Taylor or who ever will be handling the performance would phone meàWhile up with you I would like to see the Museumà."". Penned just four months before his death in July, 1967. Stapled to another sheet, boldly written and very good.
