Irving Berlin was a close friend to a school teacher, Samuel Hoffman for over 25 years. In 1957, Berlin composed and recorded a song to Hoffman on the occasion of his 81st Birthday which appears to have been on or about July 14th. Only one recording was made and that was exclusively or Mr. Hoffman which was entitled "Sam, Sam The Man What Am". On July 14, 1958, Irving Berlin sent a letter to Mr. Hoffman " Here's a slightly different lyric to the same tune of your birthday song. I hope you like it. Love Irving". Letter measures 10½ x 7½" and is on his fine letterhead (by Cranes Crest) signed boldly in blue fountain pen ink. With the best of intentions, the letter was laminated with the additional lyrics and composition on verso which measures 11 x 9" keeping both pieces pristine On July 13, 1959 Irving Berlin sent Mr. Hoffman a new verse for his original birthday song which reads "Sam, Sam the man what am You still are on the beam Eighty-three --- will simply be A day for more ice cream When your first plate is through Order one more or two Happy Birthday to you" With love, Irving " On smaller letterhead, 7 ¼ x 5¾" and is signed in blue fountain pen ink.

Lot 585		Humphrey Bogart Suit: Warner Bros. Pictures Handwritten Label in Pocket, Dated August 5, 1941 Production 375, Humphrey Bogart Bold and Clean. Warner Brothers issued wool suit for Humphrey Bogart clearly handwritten on a Warner Bros. label inside suit pocket including the date, 8/5/41 Production 375, Size 38. In very tiny letters just below the Warner Bros. Pictures embroidery, in completely different handwriting is written "Double" and in different ink. (a second suit? a stand-in, a later production? The suit has certainly been worn) It was very common at the studios during WWII to re-use costumes for other films due to shortages. The exact label in the vest again clearly has handwritten "H. Bogart", Production 375 (but on the lining is stamped, not written, "WB 379). Further the Warner Bros. Pictures label is over-stamped with multiple production numbers. As for the label in the pants, the label clearly at one time got wet and everything smeary. It is very difficult to match brown pin striped fabric to B&W images, but it seems there is a suit Bogart wears extensively in ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT that very much matches the stripes, buttons and lapels which was released in January 10, 1942 which is the lead time necessary from production in early August, 1941 to release in 1942. Suit is in excellent condition. Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000 View details and enlarged photo	Realized $2,781
