The one-time newspaperwoman types this letter to famed columnist Louis Sobol
Typed Letter Signed: "Dorothy" 2p, 8x11. New York, March 12, 1941. On her personal
letterhead. Letter written at the Hotel Earle, which she considers to be "a gloomy place". Brief
summary of text: She thanks Sobol for the Steve Hannagan contact and tells him she doesn't
have a job yet, but wonderful prospects. However, during the time she has been waiting, her
finances have dwindled. Dorothy Verrill Rhodes worked for newspapers based in both
Hartford and New Haven, Connecticut. Although her first marriage ended in divorce, she
got married a second time to Russell Rhodes, a playwright and columnist based out of New
York. Louis Sobol (1896-1986) was a New York journalist who wrote a gossip-oriented
entertainment column for 40 years, initially focused on the Broadway stage but also
covering film and TV personalities. One of the several books he published is The Longest
Street, a Broadway memoir. He retired in 1967. Corners and edges worn. Creasing
throughout. Otherwise, fine condition.
