Usual fold creases, but fine
Description
From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Usual fold creases, but fine. 3 pages, 4to, double-spaced on pale yellow paper. For more than half this letter Shaw critiques the movie 'The Human Comedy' based on Saroyan's play of the same title: "The big news is that I took my entire family... to see 'The Human Comedy' and there wasn't a dry eye among the Shaws. It's a lovely picture... I loved it. I say through it always on the verge of tears, because somehow it's a picture that immediately sets your deepest emotions stirring..." Both were in the Army in film units and in the rest of the letter Shaw discusses this and his writing: "My play ['Sons and Soldiers'?] now looks close to rehearsal. MGM has made a rich offer and if the Dramatists' Guild ok's it on Monday, I am rich and the play is in rehearsal. Don't let Todd rewrite the play [referring to one by Saroyan], although I advise your re-writing several portions of it..." (BA).
