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
