197596686December 30 1975. 1975. Very good. - Over 160 words typed on his 8-1/2 inch high by 6-3/8 inch wide creamy white personal stationery with his facsimile signature embossed in gilt at the top. Responding to his friend New York City Center producer Jean Dalrymple Laemmle apologizes for not replying sooner as his "secretary has not been here". He goes on to congratulate Jean for the "great success of Jose's 80th birthday. I'm sure it took a lot of hard work" referring to the vistuoso pianist Jose Iturbi a close friend of Jean Dalrymple's. He goes on to mention New York City's famous 21 Club and his forthcoming birthday" "Thanks for sending me the invitation for '21'. That is quite a bit of competition. I'm glad you are coming to my party." Mentioning that he too stayed home for Christmas he suggests that Jean should bring Jose Iturbi to his party and wishes her luck on her "new book" Dalrymple published "From the Past Row: A Personal Account of the First Twenty-Five Years of the New York City Center of Music and Drama" in that year. Laemmle signs with his familiar name "Junior" in his shaky aging hand. Folded for mailing else fine. <p>In a promotional piece for a Universal Pictures retrospective the Museum of Modern Art writes: "Founded in 1912 by German immigrant Carl Laemmle.this series focuses on one segment of the studio's rich history - the period from 1928 to 1936 when the studio's head of production was the founder's son Carl Laemmle Jr. Known condescendingly as 'Junior' Laemmle and the butt of endless Hollywood jokes 'the son also rises' the younger Laemmle was in fact a sophisticated ambitious risk-taking producer who gambled the studio's finances on a series of challenging projects - and eventually lost. When cost overruns on the 1936 Show Boat forced the studio into the hands of its creditors the Laemmle era came to an end. Brief as it was that era yielded an extraordinary number of important films including such celebrated classics as Dracula Frankenstein and All Quiet on the Western Front."<p>The recipient Jean Dalrymple 1902-1998 was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in vaudeville appearing with James Cagney and Cary Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski Mary Martin Jose Iturbi Andre Kostelanetz Nathan Milstein and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943 serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951 Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
