‎.RKO PRESENTS JOHN STEINBECK'S THE PEARL. caption title - Complete set of eight color lobby cards‎

‎Los Angeles: RKO / National Screen Services 1948. Complete set of eight 11 x 14 inch color lobby cards. Small marginal mend on verso of card 6 a few minor marginal nicks minor soft creases to card 7 barely visible except on the blank verso light dust smudges to versos but a very good or better set. A complete set including the title card of the lobby cards promoting the 1948 U.S. release of the 1947 film adaptation of Steinbeck's novella. The film first released as LA PERLA was produced in Mexico by Film Asociados Mexico-Americanos in association with Ãguila Films and was directed by Emilio Fernandez who also collaborated with Steinbeck and Jack Wagner on the screenplay. Master of golden age Mexican cinema Gabriel Figueroa served as cinematographer and won a Golden Globe Award for his work on this film. Steinbeck's conception of THE PEARL as a cinematic vehicle from the start he discussed it as a film with Fernandez as early as 1941 and his active participation in its production make it of particular significance in the field of Steinbeck- related film. Complete sets are uncommon. RKO / National Screen Services unknown books‎

This devotion has been carried on a coin booth which is little better than the back seat of a packard. We have no phone yet but hope to have one tomorrow or the next day. Mother Marie is building a nest for her new offspring and I am hard at work which immobilizes both of us pretty much. I am going to have lunch with Charlie Lytle remember the Pixie of Park Lane tomorrow May 8 at 21. Maybe you could drop in or maybe you'll be there anyway. I have to ask you something . Meanwhile I'll call you if we get a phone. The hell with the coin box business. John" Provenance: from the Estate of Burgess Meredith unknown books‎

I've forgotten Milly's i.e. LEWIS MILESTONE'S street number too but at least I remember his street. We don't live at the hotel but we get our mail there. I know Paulette knows the place. We have a little house with a big garden about half a mile from the plaza - very pleasant. Will be here until October I guess. We don't start shooting THE PEARL until August. I don't suppose there is much chance of your coming down after you finish the Chambermaid Meredith's DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID. Blumey was asking about you the other night when we were in town.<br/><br/>We're getting lots of sun and oddly enough a lot of work done a thing I can hardly believe. I wonder how your film "Diary of A Chambermaid" goes. I have some ideas for the future - too many but perhaps worth discussing some time. Tom grows like a bloody weed. He is so black we will have trouble getting him into a hotel in Georgia. And he is very strong and no intellectual company whatever. Gwyn thrives here. Anyway we'll see our picture through here and then go on to New York in October and after that we have no plans.<br/><br/> . The grapevine has nice things to say about your picture. And Renoir is a great man. I've always wanted to work with him.<br/><br/>The rains are just starting here and the fine big clouds all day. It's pretty wonderful.<br/><br/>Please give our love to Kendal and Milly. And to yourselves.

‎STEINBECK JOHN‎

‎Autograph Letter Signed from John Steinbeck to Writer Daniel James‎

‎Los Gatos California: 1 page quarto 8 1/2 by 14 inches early 1941. Original excellent content letter signed “John†written in blue ink on yellow lined foolscap paper. Steinbeck writes to Daniel James who had just finished his work as one of the assistant directors to Charles Chaplin on his film classic The Great Dictator. Steinbeck has just returned home from being in Hollywood as well where he was working on his Mexican documentary film The Forgotten Village. “.I just got back from your part of the country to find your letter. Didn’t see anyone down there. Went from the lab to my apartment back and forth and came home the moment I was finished. I didn’t have anything to do with picking a composer. Hans Eisler wrote the music after Sillvestre Revueltas died. I haven’t even heard it. I think the film is pretty good but of course can’t tell until it is all finished and music and words set on the film. This is a crazy time and I feel pretty much the same. Too much rather than too little information. And it doesn’t seem to mirror the total of our knowledge a bit. Are you still working for Charley Chaplin He has been away a long time now. And I have heard one group say The Great Dictator is a failure and another that it is a great success. Which do you think is true. I’m going to work now on the Gulf book Sea of Cortez. Hope to have it ready by summer. It is going to be very hard work but of a kind I like and trust particularly now precise work in which the information does not pass through any censorship bureau.Haven’t been to Monterey for quite a while but Carol Steinbeck has. Tal is going to have a baby Francis and Elaine are reported well and Ed Ricketts is Ed.†Fine condition. 1 page, quarto, 8 1/2 by 14 inches unknown books‎
