The actor makes a late attempt to send his resume to Theatre
World's Daniel Blum
Typed letter signed: "John Hewer". 1 page, 7¼x10½. New York
City, New York, December 30, 1954. To "Dear Mr. Blum" In full:
"I expect that the enclosed sheet will be too late for your purpose but I
thought it best to send one in just in case it might be in time. Unfortunately,
after 'The Boy Friend' opened, I changed my apartment about three times and in
the hurly burly your letter was mislaid and has only just come to light
again--please accept my apologies. Yours sincerely, ". John Hewer
(1922-2008) was a British stage and screen actor most known for his various
television roles on Before the Fringe (1967), Nicholas Nickleby
(1977) and Dave's Kingdom (1964). His most popular films are Law and
Disorder (1958) and Strip Tease Murder (1961). Prominent in
London's West End, Hewer acted in several musicals including Six of One
and Sail Away. He starred as "Tony" in his only American Broadway
credit, The Boy Friend (1954-1955), which toured for over a year. Hewer
made one of his last musical performances in David Heneker's "Peg" at the
Phoenix Theatre, London, 1984. 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. Toned. Normal mailing folds. Fine
