the new edition.
Autograph Letter signed: "Jerome Collamore", 1 page, 7¼x10½.
Flushing, N.Y., 1978 March 26. On personal letterhead to "Dear Mr.
Willis", in full: "Thank you so much including me in your present
'Theatre World'. With all good wishes, Sincerely yours". Character actor
Jerome Collamore (1891-1987) was limited to small parts in films,
including: "Custodian", "Milkman", "Party Guest No. 4", and finally "Old Man in
Bar." His stage biography was more impressive, including 16 Broadway and 5
Off-Broadway appearances over a 60-year span. By 1921, he had already
appeared in 5 Shakespeare plays there. Later work included Red Dust
(1928) and his final show, The Dresser (1981-1982). Theatre
World, founded in 1945 by Daniel Blum, is America's oldest annual
record of Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional theatre, referenced by
industry professionals, historians, students and theatre fans worldwide. Until
1998, when a separate nonprofit corporation was established, Theatre
World's editorial staff bestowed the prestigious Theatre World Awards
for outstanding Broadway and Off-Broadway debuts. Screen World (from
1950) and Dance World (from 1966), administered from the same office,
furnished comprehensive information on those entertainment genres. John A.
Willis (1916-2010), active in Theatre World from the beginning, became
its chief editor in 1965, holding that position until 2008. Willis is
regarded as one of the foremost theatre and film historians of the 20th century.
While producing (and presenting) the annual Theatre World Awards, Willis also
served on the nominating committee for the Tony Awards. Theatre World,
which received its own Tony for Excellence in Theatre in 2001,
continues under chief editor Ben Hodges. Minor surface creases. Otherwise, fine
condition.
