Excellent Chatty Autograph Letter Signed

Book Description

1935. unbound. British playwright, director and producer who greatly influenced the revival and interest in traditional theater in the 20th century. A rather chatty A.L. signed "Tony Guthrie" to noted theatrical agent Harold Freedman, 4 pages, 8vo. April 3, 1935, New York, sending his appreciation for being invited to a wonderful Broadway play, in small part: "...Thank you very much in enabling me to see "The Old Maid"...the settings, the dresses and lighting were exquisite. I don't know when I have seen anything that was so satisfying an experience...I was mightily impressed with Ms. [Judith] Anderson...was disappointed in the play...thought it slow and repetitious and far too sweet until the cast scene of all - where J. Anderson completely "got" me...". Much more excellent content. Receivers stamp on first page does not detract. Very good. The old Maid premiered on Broadway in 1935 and starred Helen Menken and Judith Anderson.
