Written to the film producer of Wren's book "Beau Geste," Wren first questions who might be cast in the role of deBeaujolais, then in the dated letter of 11/19/1926, he applauds the completed film in glowing terms. In part he says: "It is a great answer to the critics who say that nothing non-American can come of American production, & that all American films must glorify Americans and American institutions while casting ridicule & contempt upon those of other countries. Includes small black and white photo of Wren, signed twice by him.

4 p., plus a two page, undated letter from Wren to Brenon : all 23 x 18 cm.
