BARRIE,  J.  M. (Barrie, James Matthew, Sir).  AUTOGRAPHED  LETTER
SIGNED (ALS) to actess Mary Jerrold who had asked for a child of hers to
appear  in  PETER  PAN. London: 14 Sept. 1927. An  excellent  one-page
AUTOGRAPH  LETTER SIGNED to noted stage and film actress Mary Jerrold.
In  full: "Kindly excuse this delay in answering your letter as I have
not  been  well.  It would be nice to me to have a child of  yours  in
"Peter  Pan" though I don't know anything about vacancies, and as  Mr.
Vaughan  at  the St. James Theatre has all the arrangements for  small
parts  in  his  hands would you mind writing to him who I am  sure  he
will  do what he can. I wish I could have seen you in the little play.
With  kindest regards. Yours sincerely, J. M. Barrie." In addition  to
PETER  PAN,  Barrie wrote two more fantasy plays: DEAR  BRUTUS  (1917)
about  a  group  of  people  who enter a magic  wood  where  they  are
transformed  into  the  people they might have become  had  they  made
different  choices  and  MARY ROSE (1920) a story of a mother  who  is
searching  for her lost child and who eventually becomes a ghost. Mary
Jerrold  played an important role in the original stage production  of
the  latter.  Normal  crease from folding. About Fine  with  envelope.
