About this Item
("Wm Fox") to Jesse Lasky at Paramount-Famous-Lasky Corp., Times Square, New York City, on the new processes of producing talking films. 11" x 8 1/2" on his William Fox Fox Studio West 55th Street New York City letterhead, August 21, 1928. Very good (closed file holes at top edges). In part: ".You already know of my great interest in the successful development of talking motion pictures. I am anxious, therefore, too see your company produce movietone pictures that are as near perfect as it is possible to obtain from the experience we have gathered. I realize that one of the things that would retard your progress would be improper printing - and there is more danger of failure here than in any other step of the work. The only one that thoroughly understands the proper development and printing of sound pictures today is our laboratory." Fox (1879-1952) was born in Hungary; originally named Wilhelm Fried. He founded the Fox Film Corporation in 1915 and the Fox West Coast Theatres chain in the 1920s. Seller Inventory # 2221596
