Perelman, 1p., 4to, (26 lines), Chicago: Erlanger Theatre, May 6, 1937 Fontanne gracefully apologizes for her tardiness and declines to accept a play Perelman has offered, writing "The characters involved are well know to us all and I believe would have an appeal to New Yorkers particularly. However I do not feel it is for us. It is hard to explain the many personal requirements one has for a play, but one knows almost instinctively (as well as by hard experience) just what one needs.for oneself, but I didn't find them in "The Right People".

Small archive of material relating to the 1945 radio play, including the original play script, a Theatre Guild contract signed by Arthur Miller, and an original program for the live performance. "The Guardsman" was adapted by Arthur Miller from Ferenc Molnár's 1912 play "A Testõr." The play aired on the radio on September 30, 1945, and was one of Miller's earliest efforts, produced four years before the debut of Miller's classic "Death of a Salesman." Included with the script are two contracts: one between the Guild and Miller, signed by Miller and dated September 5, 1945, and one between the Guild and royalty holder Hans Bartsch, signed by Bartsch and dated August 30, 1945. Additionally included with the script is an original program given to the studio audience for the radio performance, dated September 30, 1945. The 1924 Theatre Guild stage production of "The Guardsman" marked the first time legendary duo Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne would appear onstage together for the Guild. The Guild billed this radio performance, nearly two decades later, as something of an encore by the acting team. The Theatre Guild first experimented with radio theatre in "Theatre Guild Dramas," a short-lived CBS Radio series that ran from 1943 to 1944. In 1945 the department created "Theatre Guild on the Air," an anthology series that quickly rose in popularity, soon gaining sponsorship by the US Steel Corporation. The series was broadcast until June of 1953, when it was moved to television.

No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. Typed Letter Signed ("Lynn"; with 3 holograph corrections), on 211 East 35th Street letterhead, New York, April 16 [1932]. 4to. 1 page; To producer Robert Sisk: "Dear Bob.I've just remembered a conversation we had in which you asked me if there was any truth in the Coward report. All that I actually knew at the time was that some day Noel wanted to act in a play written by himself and Alfred and me. I was not the base deceiver that you have possibly thought me since. It was not until a few days later when Noel telegraphed up that he had completed the play and were we free to play in it an on no account to tell anyone, his reason being that if after we read it we did not like it would be awkward having it all announced.we had a strong suspicion that Noel did have a play for us and .some of the papers had announced tat as a fact, I was not actually and positively aware of it at the time you asked me.you must have been faintly puzzled at what appeared a very vase deception."; Coward's play "Design for Living" opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on January 24, 1933, with the Lunts and Coward in the leading roles.
