DOROTHY VERRILL RHODES
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.
