Dear San:
As a long-time admirer of the art and showmanship
of Samuel Goldvryn, I am delighted to seiie this
first moment of a new business day to express pleasure
and gratification over my happy experience last evening
in seeing "Hans Christian Andersen."
I feel a deep sense of obligation to you for
this rare experience—an obligation which I believe I
shall eventually be shtiring with countless millions of
people the whole world over.
"Hans Christian Andersen," as you have brought
the subject to the screen, is, in my opinion, a living,
vibrant work of art—an achievement of classic significance
in its beauty, melody, humor, movement and sentiment.
It represents to me the Screen in the full bloom
of the maturity of the art. This production alone woiild
insure for its producer a permanent place in the hall
of fame of theatrical entertainment.
Tours sincerely.
