CAGNEY
(James, 1899-1986, American Actor)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed 'Jim' to 'Dear Anne'
saying that "The piece on Ireland's film industry was excellent. I'm pleased [John] Huston is taking a hand as he has a driving ego that could get the boys and girls moving.

All pulled together ... had an English director who didn't know his behind from a tin bucket but he could do very little to hurt things. The direction was largely explicit in the writing which is as it should be and things moved along well. His name is Michael Anderson'. Haven't heard of him lately. The Cohan play is not going to be easy. I've had some scripts sent to me over the years which tried to capture the flavor of the man and his times and they were all sadly lacking in any real excitement. They say they have some great music which he had written but had never published. I sat at an audition in New York when a gal named Walsh sang the songs with the idea of doing a follow up on 'Y.D.D.'. None was worth the attempt. She sang them well too ...", 2 sides 4to., no place, Thursday, no date
