Katharine Cornell Very Rare Very Early Autographed Letter 30s Stage Door Canteen

Description

Here is a very rare very early vintage original double-sided letter by stage and screen actress Katharine Cornell (1898-1974), from 1932, to publisher/editor Frank Dale Warren, in which she references her husband Guthrie McClintic's Broadway production of Distant Drums, a book he has sent her, and requests his help in securing housing Boston for an upcoming show she will be in. She also asks him if her scrawl is too hard to read; if it is next time she will have her secretary type it. Katharin Cornell, who was known as "The First Lady of the American Theater", won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for Anthony and Cleopatra (1948). She also appeared in a number of feature films, including Stage Door Canteen (1943), and narrated The Unconquered (1954), the story of Helen Keller. Very rare.
