Beschreibung:

Typed Letter Signed ("Charlie Chaplin"), 1 p, 8vo, Los Angeles, December 8, 1927, to Julian Lesser, on monogrammed stationery, matted and framed with a 3.5 x 5 in. photograph of Chaplin. Julian Lesser was the son of producer Sol Lesser, with whom Charlie Chaplin shared a close friendship and professional relationship dating back to the period when Chaplin was making The Kid (1921). Charlie Chaplin's mantra regarding film production was "quality over quantity," a sentiment he clearly expresses in this missive which likely deals with the music for his film, The Circus (1928). Together with a Typed Letter Signed ("Charlie Chaplin"), 1 p, 8vo, February 10, 1965, to a "Mrs. Dornhauser" on monogrammed stationery, matted and framed with a 4 x 5 in. photograph of Chaplin, which states: "Thank you very much for your kind letter which made me very happy. " Largest: 17.5 x 14.75 x 1 in.; smallest: 17.5 x 13.75 x 1 in.
