GRENFELL
(Joyce, 1910-1979, Comedy Actress)
Autograph Letter Signed to Miss Kit Stewart
on an Air Letter form, saying that she hasn’t “written to say how touched & pleased I was by that lovely first night cable. I loved getting it... It was a wonderful 8 weeks. Smashing notices, audience’s warmth & kindness. Now for some TV and then home in the New Year. I don’t quite know when. It’s been a lovely experience & has made me understand & love America far more. I used to be faintly resentful in some ways even though I am ½v½. But there is such a sense of loving kindness & real neighbourliness & love here that I’m won over. We only see the tough materialistic touristy side - that exists too,, so does Smash Broadway, cigars, guns & toughness. But these are surface stuff like Edgware Road. The core is good...”, 1 side folio, with autograph address on the verso, Lamelton Hotel, West 55 St, New York City, postmarked 3rd December

GRENFELL
(Joyce, 1910-1979, Comedy Actress)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Willibrandt
telling her that she is "so interested in this question of Christian names. I suppose it is silly to have names & not use them but ... I think the use should be reserved as a sort of pleasure for close friends ... I don't in fact really like to hear strangers addressing each other by their first names ... I realise this is just a personal view... no one, apparently, has a surname in film studios! Everyone is Bill, Alf, May, Gladys and Bert. Its all right & I suppose friendly. But it also lacks reticence and that olde worlde quality still has value to me ..." continuing that she still believes in privacy but that fame comes with its own problems, "It is a fascinating subject & I'm glad you wrote ... its been in my mind quite a lot. So many children write in to me as 'dear Joyce' and I do wish they wouldn't ... that respect is a gracious quality fast drifting out of sight ...", 4 sides 4to., London, 21st January
