Benny, Jack (1894-1974) American Comedian, originally Benjamin Kubelsky. Radio and TV pioneer.
Typed Letter Signed. One page, Quarto, on imprinted personal letterhead, n.p., December 29, 1972. To Rabbi Magnin. Interesting letter of invitation to attend an honorary awards ceremony benefitting the March of Dimes which will present Frank Sinatra with a "Man of the Year" award. Benny writes, in part:
"…The Dais will be limited to the speakers and will include Vice President Spiro T. Agnew who will make the presentation, The Honorable James Roosevelt, Dr. Jonas Salk, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and myself as Toastmaster. It is our expectation that the audience will comprise a brilliant and distinguished array of the civic, social and entertainment leaders in the community. The evening will include a champagne dinner on the basis of a tax exempt check of $100.00 per person to the March of Dimes. Reservations will only be accepted through members of the Honorary Committee, and I am enclosing a reservation form for your convenience…Cordially, Jack." .
Fine.
