TLS, one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, February 3, 1960. Letter to Glenn Laxton, in part: "Interesting to know you are rehearsing a show—two months seems to be a long time for that, but maybe you don't rehearse every day…Re the L&H films, we never had regular rehearsals as is the custom of stage shows, for the reason we never had complete scripts, so we'd talk over each scene as we came to it, then run through it with action on the set, & if he felt good we'd shoot it, & if it wasn't just right, it was made again with necessary changes. I don't recall the title of the first short we made, that was over 30 years ago—we made over 200 films, so it's difficult to remember…I have a few of the L&H scripts, but they are packed away & in storage—I doubt if they would be of use to anyone, as they were only rough outlines of story ideas & without dialogue—gags or routines, so they would be of no value for stage presentation." In very good to fine condition, with old tape stains at the corners, and a clear piece of tape over portions of the first two paragraphs. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
