Two Gentlemen of the Stage and Screen. Lot of two letters from men who made their screen debuts in 1938, but whose careers followed very different paths. 1. Price, Vincent. (1911-1993). Autograph Letter Signed ("Vincent"). One page, quarto, 1966 or 1967, Los Angeles. On personalized stationery. To Chester Kerr. Staple holes at top edge, two horizontal mailing holes, foxing. In very good condition. 2. Redgrave, Michael. (1908-1985). Autograph Letter Signed ("Michael"). Two pages, quarto, London, no date. On personalized stationery. To "Walter." Two horizontal mailing folds with some minor crumpling at the left. In very good condition.
Price's letter expresses regrets missing a visit while he was filming The Jackals in South Africa: "Damn it this time I was in South Africa doing a flick and only arrived back too late for your short visit. At least you could have showed up in Nairobi or some such place!…Ever, Vincent". Redgrave also details projects, speeches and travels: "…I leave my play in 3 weeks time; and then go to Buda Pest to give a Shakespeare recital. From thence I go to Vienna, to talk about the Burgtheater production of 'Aspen Papers'…and then join Rachel in Venice and on to Ravenna, Florence, Rome. After that, Greece. Or rather, Corfu…All my best wishes, Michael".
