Description

Cole Porter to Peggy Wood, on her role in The Cat and the Fiddle

ALS signed “Cole,” two pages both sides, 5.25 x 7.25, The Travellers letterhead, February 8, 1932. Letter to singer-actress Peggy Wood, in part: "I saw by the papers, &, last night, lear'd from Cockie, that you rehearsing in the Cat & the Fiddle. I can't tell you how happy I am. It's a great show &, I'm sure, even better for London than for New York. And you will make a great person of that part. I have been so worried about you. And this is the reason I write you. For no one ever behaved as beautifully as you did during the long delays of our dead Star Dust. If I can, I shall be there to cheer you on your opening night." In fine condition. Less than a month later, on March 4, 1932, the Jerome Kern-Otto Harbach musical The Cat and the Fiddle made its London debut, with Peggy Wood playing the role of Shirley Sheridan. A fantastic musical association piece.
