TLS, one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, April 5, 1960. Letter to a fan. In part: “That was quite interesting about the newspaper dated 1923, imagine 37 years ago –I remember that film ‘The Pest’, that was made before I teamed with Mr. Hardy. The very first time I made a film with him was also in ’23 & titled ‘A Lucky Dog’. When we officially became a team in ‘27, our first film was called ‘The Battle of the Century’. The one you mention ‘Home From the Honeymoon’ was made much later, we made two versions of that story, the first was silent & the 2nd. was with sound, the latter was titled ‘Another Fine Mess’, I don’t recall the title of the silent one (the ‘Honeymoon’ title was never used.)…Regarding the names of the Stars I know in Show Bus.–they are too numerous to mention–many I know well & others I’ve met. Mae Busch, Jimmy Finlayson & Charlie Hall am sorry to say have since passed on. We quit making films about 1945 & spent the rest of our time making personal appearances Abroad, except for ‘Utopia’ which we made in France in 1950 & which was our last.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, blocks of toning from old tape, tape along vertical edges, and the original envelope’s address panel affixed to bottom of letter.
