TLS signed “Stan,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Oceana Apartment Hotel letterhead, April 8, 1964. Laurel writes to Glenn Laxton, in full: “Thanks yours, 2nd. inst. Richard Burton is a very fine actor, am sure his performance of ‘Hamlet’ was excellent but I am not too sure about doing Shakespeare in the modern costume instead of the traditional ‘Period’—am not by any means an authority on Shakespeare, its [sic] just a personal opinion, maybe if I saw it done in the modern I’d feel as you do. I can image the show draws a lot of curiosity seekers on account of the Scandal situation. Re being given a Knighthood, this is not confined to the entertainment World, it an honorary degree for anybody outside the acting profession—for outstanding service—humanity etc. In show Bus. not only those in the Dramatic field have been titled—many comics too, Sir Harry Lauder—Sir George Robey etc.etc. these two were knighted for their entertaining in the Front Line Trenches during the Wars—Charity Benefit performances etc. Thanks for the compliment, I am not in that category. No I have’nt [sic] heard from Patricia Ellis—have never seen or heard of here [sic] since she appeared in that film with us (’Blockheads’) a very attractive Gal at that time. Re the Westerns, I did’nt [sic] produce them—just had a financial interest in that Co. Cheap ‘Quickies’. I am a Grandfather—have two Grandchildren Boy & Girl 14 & 13 years old.” Light creasing, trimmed edges, and strip of tape along the top and bottom edge, otherwise fine condition.
