Item description from seller

One-page typed letter on stationery of Gate City Feature Film Co., "Producers of High-Class Race Photo Plays" in Kansas City, colorfully overstamped in red with the company's "Gate City" logo and address. Dated 17 October 1921. A small chip at bottom corner, folded for mailing, else near fine. Smiley makes no secret of his unhappiness that the newspaper mistakenly ran the ad in their October 15th issue, and suggests strongly that the newspaper re-run the ad on October 22nd, as contracted for. Gate City Feature Film Co. was founded in 1921, and as near as we can tell, left little imprint on the world of film. An attractive artifact from the short-lived film company.
