Lot 395
Cantor, Eddie. Autographed Note Signed (" Eddie Cantor"). One page, recto and verso, quarto, n.d., n.d. On a letter addressed to Mr. Cantor from one Hanns H. Kolmar who writes on Marquette Hotel stationery. In black ink. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope (on Santa Barbara Biltmore stationery) and a two page film treatment, presumably authored by Kolmar. Two horizontal folds, slight toning, and the ink has smeared affecting one word. In very good condition overall.
In response to the request of Mr. Kolmar, here Eddie Cantor adds his thoughts to the bottom of a letter written by Kolmar. It seems that Kolmar had conducted an interview with Cantor in which Kolmar mentioned an idea he had for a possible film. Politely, Cantor agreed to review his two page synopsis. As it turned out, Cantor did not quite feel the idea matched his image, and he suggests as much in this note: "I am returning the synopsis which you so kindly sent. It is too satirical and there is not enough scope for broad comedy which my public expects of me."
Estimated Value $125 - 150.
