Laurel reminisces about old Hollywood

TLS, one page, 6 x 9, personal letterhead, September 26, 1964. Letter to a young actor reminiscing about early Hollywood. In part, “Re ‘The Paperhanger’s Helper’ - that team was Oliver Hardy & Bobby Ray - I had never met Hardy at that time frankly unknown to me - I saw this film about a couple of years ago for the first time & I must admit, a great resemblance to L&H - very convincing…Re the presentation of L&H films on TV. Am afraid nothing can be done about it - unfortunately I have no interest or say in the matter or I certainly would straighten out the situation.” Laurel also mentions Roach Studios, Mack Sennett and Keystone, Jimmy Finlayson, Alec Lauder, and Sir Harry Lauder. In fine condition, with a bit of light edge toning. PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
