Beerbohm, Max, Sir, 1872-1956. Note to John Barrymore, written on the cover of THE TATLER(23 Oct. 1929 issue) which pictures John Barrymore with Winston Churchill, c. 1929.

Title: Note to John Barrymore, written on the cover of THE TATLER(23 Oct. 1929 issue) which pictures John Barrymore with Winston Churchill, c. 1929.

It appears that Beerbohm has touched up the cover photo with pencil to give a somewhat disreputable air to both men. His note chides Barrymore as being an "ill-hosier'd wrong-un, " while Churchill "surely hasn't become a butler and been discharged for drunkenness and theft, so that he is more a penitent in mufti, vainly seeking, without a 'character, ' a situation in some decent household?"

The archive touches on virtually every major Hollywood person, studio, and event of the early 20th century. The archive is highlighted by David O. Selznick's personal files, found in Series I, and arranged in 28 sub-subseries. These records document Selznick's personal involvement in every aspect of his business and chronicle his life. Found in this subseries are clippings, confidential and personal files, coproduction and loanout files, correspondence, calendars, financial and legal files, interoffice files, MGM, Paramount, and RKO files, Myron Selznick estate files, photographs, safe deposit files, story files, talent files, and writers files.
