TYPED LETTER SIGNED by the American stage and screen actor FRITZ LEIBER to the American impressario and lecture manager James B. Pond regarding performances of Shakespeare plays.

1920100117Washington February 8 1920. 1920. Very good. - Over 250 words typed on 10-7/8 inch high by 8-3/8 inch wide "The Washington" hotel stationery with the hotel's crest at top right and a woodcut vignette at top left. The Shakespearean actor writes to James B. Pond "Bim" mentioning that he's heard from Raphael that Pond "had had letters from Ankermiller relative to a proposition about me". Leiber had refrained from getting in touch following the Maeterlinck lecture fiasco as he didn't know if Pond was yet able to give it his "consideration". He goes on to list the success that his recent performances of Shakespeare plays have had quoting figures and goes on to make suggestions regarding a possible tour. "We could use the modified curtain arrangement affected by Southern and Marlowe." and suggests that they would need a minimum of costume and scenery for 4 plays "say Hamlet-Othello which WE have not done lately at all Merchant and Caesar." Signed in full "Fritz Leiber". Folded for mailing with tiny chips to the top & bottom right corners. Very good.The American stage & film actor Fritz Leiber 1882-1949 was the father of the science fiction and fantasy author Fritz Leiber Jr. Leiber had a successful career as a Shakespearean actor on stage and on film. He and his wife toured in a Shakespearean acting company which by the 1930's was known as "Fritz Leiber & Co." He made his film debut as Mercutio in "Romeo and Juliet" in 1916 and went on to perform in major roles in the silent era and played character actors in subsequent sound films. Leiber had a peculiar hobby. Each time he performed a new role he had his portrait painted in costume. Of course his son Fritz Leiber Jr. inherited these hundreds of portraits sharing his cramped quarters with likenesses of his father's face. Making the best of it Leiber Jr. later used this as inspiration for his story "237 Talking Statues."James B. Pond the American impresario and lecture agent who headed the J.B. Pond Lyceum Bureau brought the great Belgian poet Maurice Maeterlinck to America for a series of lectures. The first lecture took place at Carnegie hall on January 2nd 1920. Unfortunately Maeterlinck failed to carry out his intention to lecture in English because of his labored "phonetic" English. He declared his intention to continue his lectures in French and have the translation read by another person. As a result the lecture tour was a failure and lawsuits ensued on both sides. Washington, February 8, 1920.
