Leader of the Three Stooges. ALS signed “Moe,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, no date. Letter to a pen pal in Texas updating the Stooges schedule and his thoughts about Captain Kangaroo and the P. T. A. In part, “am real busy at this time preparing for personal appearances and a feature picture planned for July…hope to continuously work on the script, that is most important and takes a great deal of time and effort…I have never seen a Captain Kangaroo T.V. show so I guess I haven’t really missed anything. There are some entertainers like this Robert Keeshan you speak of who first held a job and have no real feeling [for] the type of show they are doing. I’m surprised the Executives of the station don’t just let him go and try to pick up Paul Winchell Children’s Show…he is a sensational ventriloquist one of the best in this century…All the kids and many grown ups like him and I’m one of them…I hold no good will for the P.T.A. anywhere they are just a bunch of women who can’t open their mouths at home, if they did they’re husbands would slug them, so they go out and talk their fool heads off in the outside world. They should either be arrested or disbanded.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Howard’s hand. In very fine condition. R&R COA.
