Description
("Adolph Zukor") as President of Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, Paramount Pictures, New York, on official letterhead, August 15th, 1928. 4to. 5 pages (recto only). Fine, fresh example of early Hollywood history. To business associate Jesse L. Lasky Hollywood, addressed formally: "Dear Mr. Lasky:" Zukor discusses in friendly, yet formal tones, current and future film projects, revenues, staff coordination operations, between New York and Hollywood/West Coast. More importantly he anticipates the success of the new sound (talking) picture. Among the films discussed are: "Abie's Irish Rose"; "Wings"; Wedding March"; "The Patriot"; "Beau Geste"; Just Married"; "Burlesque." Actors and actresses discussed include: Eddie Cantor; Ethel Barrymore. There are several references to Walter F. Wagner, the Studio's General Manager. Zukor (1873-1976), Hungarian-born American film executive and producer; founded Famous Players Lasky Corp (1916); later chairman of Paramount Pictures (1927); received a Special Academy Award in 1948. Lasky (1880-1958), American motion picture pioneer; produced the first film in Hollywood ("The Squaw Man," 1913); formed studio with brother-in-law Samuel Goldwyn, which became Paramount Pictures (1916); later produced for Fox, Warner Bros., RKO, etc. This is by far the best Zukor/Paramount letter we have seen.
