Additional Details

". . . As for mentioning that I produce shows: it is incorrect. I merely write music and lyrics for shows.
'. . . I highly recommend the following agent: LESTER SCHURR . . . .
'I cannot assure you that he can get you work in this country, but I can vouch for his complete honesty, besides which he has a brother, Louis Schurr, in Hollywood, who is completely reputable; and this makes a very good tie-up with both centers of entertainment: New York City, N.Y. and Los Angeles, California. . . ."
