Autograph Letter Signed "John" to Burgess Meredith and Paulette Goddard from Cuernavaca regarding the filming of THE PEARL and other matters

194529903Hotel Marik Cuernavaca Mexico 1945. One page in ink on recto of a single sheet ruled note paper. 1 vols. 11 x 8-1/2 inches. Very good. From the Estate of Burgess Meredith. One page in ink on recto of a single sheet ruled note paper. 1 vols. 11 x 8-1/2 inches. Steinbeck in Cuernavaca. UNPUBLISHED letter written from Cuernavaca while Steinbeck was in Mexico "riding herd" on the shooting of the film version of THE PEARL Dear Buzzy and Paulette: I've forgotten where you live. I've forgotten Milly's i.e. LEWIS MILESTONE'S street number too but at least I remember his street. We don't live at the hotel but we get our mail there. I know Paulette knows the place. We have a little house with a big garden about half a mile from the plaza - very pleasant. Will be here until October I guess. We don't start shooting THE PEARL until August. I don't suppose there is much chance of your coming down after you finish the Chambermaid Meredith's DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID. Blumey was asking about you the other night when we were in town. We're getting lots of sun and oddly enough a lot of work done a thing I can hardly believe. I wonder how your film "Diary of A Chambermaid" goes. I have some ideas for the future - too many but perhaps worth discussing some time. Tom grows like a bloody weed. He is so black we will have trouble getting him into a hotel in Georgia. And he is very strong and no intellectual company whatever. Gwyn thrives here. Anyway we'll see our picture through here and then go on to New York in October and after that we have no plans. . The grapevine has nice things to say about your picture. And Renoir is a great man. I've always wanted to work with him. The rains are just starting here and the fine big clouds all day. It's pretty wonderful. Please give our love to Kendal and Milly. And to yourselves.

The Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at converting one of his novels into a play Of Mice and Men was the first. It was originally written while Steinbeck was on assignment from the Foreign Information Service a division of the Office of Strategic Services that was charged with combating Nazi propaganda. The first draft of the story depicting a small American town invaded by German troops was rejected by the FIS who feared that it might demoralize the American public. In the second draft Steinbeck kept the basic plot but changed the setting to a fictitious Scandinavian town. Despite mixed critical reception the The Moon is Down was a popular success and a bestseller. Shortly after its publication Broadway producer Oscar Serlin who thought the story would attract a large audience if made into a play purchased the dramatic rights. In April 1942 The Moon is Down premiered on Broadway with Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Its initial run lasted nine weeks and the play was well received on the road and abroad especially in London and Stockholm. The Moon is Down was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics' Circle and placed second. Provenance: The collection of producer Oscar Serlin. (New York, 1941-42) unknown books
