1941Best.-Nr. 020957Pacific Palisades CA 5 October 1941. Letter. Light creases from mailing. Near Fine. A superb three-page TYPED LETTER SIGNED TLS on Mann's personal stationery to Louis B. Mayer president of MGM Studios commending Mayer for the Studios' contracting of 5 refugee writers in order to allow their immigration to the United States to escape death during World War II: Alfred Doeblin Alfred Polgar Hans Lustig Wilhelm Speyer and Walter Mehring. In part: "It is not my custom to interfere in matters which do not directly concern me; however I should like to take the liberty of presenting to you with confidence a matter which is close to my heart and which is a source of worry for me as well many other well-meaning people. It was one of the finest and most meritorious deeds during these turbulent years which destroyed so much life and happiness a deed which will certainly never be forgotten when the fantastic tale of the emigration of European culture is told that two great Motion Picture Companies in Hollywood decided to give emergency contracts to a number of German and Austrian writers which not only enabled these men to immigrate into the United States but also secured if only for a certain time a basis for their existence." Mann spends most of the letter arguing for the rehiring of these writers for another year not "for unproductive and merely humanitarian purposes" but because "the value of the agreement for the Company has already been demonstrated." An important letter revealing Mann's solidarity with refugee writers during the rise of Fascism in Europe. Mann himself emigrated to the United States in 1939 following the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. The outbreak of World War II on 1 September 1939 prompted Mann to offer anti-Nazi speeches in German to the German people via the BBC and in October 1940 Mann began monthly eight-minute broadcasts recorded in the U.S. and broadcast by the BBC to Germany condemning Hitler and the Nazis. In doing so he was one of the few publicly active opponents of Nazism among German expatriates in the United States. unknown books

Play her like Ella talks - to us to the boys - to the cats! When she is soft - when she is mad. Remember her ‘Whoo!’ and the weary ‘Well.’ And the way her head moves out of sync with the cadence of her speech. Back and forth like Keely - like a bird.” McCambridge has made various line edits in pencil at her speaking parts in the script. This copy is custom bound in full dark green gilt stamped leather with raised bands on the spine marble endpapers and with her name gilt-stamped to the lower right corner of the front board.
