Kaufman, George (1889-1961) Dramatist, critic, director; he won the 1936 Pulitzer Prize for "You Can't Take It With You." A 5½ page typescript, with numerous holograph corrections, of an article Kaufman was writing for Cosmopolitan, probably in the early fifties, entitled "Edna Ferber." He writes flatteringly of her work and their personal friendship. The two collaborated on three smash-hit plays: "The Royal Family" (1927), "Dinner at Eight" (1932), and "Stage Door" (1936), all of which were made into successful films. Accompanied by a Typed Letter Signed "George," New York City, Thursday, 7 x 8½ in. To "Dear Edna," telling her he has indulged in some hyperbole, etc. but "…I have written it with love and hope you also feel that. Does anything in it bother you?…." Light toning, else fine.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
