Copyrighted material WEILL IN NEW CITY TO LENYA IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, APRIL Thursday, Apr. , Traubchen, Yesterday I had your letter from S. Antonio. The things that have arrived from New Orleans so far are lovely. The red lamp is a real beauty, the silver set is very sweet and so is the red water bottle and glass. Thats all that has arrived. I have paid . for the lamp, and there is a check of . from “French Quarter Shop” at the bank. I begin to see how you are planning our living room. I am sure it will be beautiful by the time you get through. I had lunch with Sam yesterday. He has finished rewriting and sent a script to the Lunts. Alfred called him up and said, he didnt think it was improved. Then Sam, for the first time, got furious and told them that is all he can do and they can take it or leave it. Half an hour later Alfred called back and said he had read it again and thinks now it is very good. They are absolutely awful, those two old fakers, and she is definitely the greatest bitch Ive ever seen. I had arranged the audition and explained to them who Belle Rosette was etc. Then she sang and Lynn kept saying: “What a charming costume!” Then Belle Rosette did a number which is a take off on an old woman gossiping a wonderful performance. Lynn said: “She would be very good as an old woman in the chorus.” When I explained again that this woman will be the star of “Sons oFun” next week, she didnt even listen, went over to Alfred and repeated: “Wouldnt she be good as an old woman in the chorus?” And so it went on. She was tired, soooo “overworked,” had to eat dinner early and lie down an hour before a radio rehearsal. And he is so dumb and so egocentric! He reminds me of Otto Klemperer all the timethe same fake voice and the same stupid chickeneyes. I have the feeling Ill save myself a lot of trouble if I stay out of this show. Life is too short to be bossed around by two old hamsand the results are too meager. Anyway, I wont make another move now. If they want me they have to get in touch with me. Thats the only way to deal with them. I talked to Cheryl.
