LANNY ROSS
Handwritten, signed letter from Ross saying he thinks it is "very enterprising" for the recipient to ask for his autograph, but in return his students must participate in a limerick contest
Autograph letter signed: "Lanny Ross", 1p, 6x9. No place, 1980 July 11. To Mr. Heimleyer. In full: "I think it is very enterprising of you to ask for these autographs. In return, I wish you to start a limerick contest among your students - and send me the best. They should write limericks about current events. A limerick must make a witty conclusion - not a dirty ending." Handwritten postscript: "I enclose May 18. 80 limerick". Lanny Ross (1906-1988) began his career in the 1930s as a radio crooner, best known for singing "Moonlight and Roses". Over the next two decades, he would host the NBC radio show, Show Boat, appear on radio and TV versions of Your Hit Parade and host his own TV series, The Swift Show (1948). Ross also appeared in several feature films, including Yours Sincerely (1933), Melody in Spring (1934), College Rhythm (1934), The Lady Objects (1938), Gulliver's Travels (1939; animated, as the voice of Prince David), Stage Door Canteen (1943) and Banjo (1947). He later hosted an episode of The Bell Telephone Hour in 1962. Normal mailing folds. Light surface creases. Corners slightly worn. Fine condition.
