O'CASEY, Sean. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). At the bottom of a
letter to O'Casey from Robert J. Lyons of the Lyons Theatre-News
Service requesting notes about his character Minnie Powell from his
play A SHADOW OF A GUNMAN to be played by Susan Strasberg. His
response: "I've already sent a number of notes to play's Director--at
his request. I shouldn't venture instruction or suggestion (except by
personal request) 3000 miles, away from where rehearsals are. Susy
Strasberg will, I'm sure, give her own rendering of the part---as all
great artists do, & must do; and I'm sure she will show Minnie Powell
to New York in a fascinating way. SIGNED in full. Normal folds from
mailing. Near Fine $1000.00
