MARTYN GREEN
He signs a 1952 contract with the Actors' Equity Association
Contract multi signed: "Martyn Green", "M.G.", multiple times, 3 pages, 8½x14. New York City, New York. Green signs a one year Standard Run-of-the-Play contract with the Actor's Equity Association for his performance with the S.M. Chartock Gilbert and Sullivan Company from 1952 to 1953. Martyn Green (1899-1975) joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1922, performing first in the chorus and soon as an understudy. From 1934 he was the Company's principal comic baritone, his fine diction lending itself especially well to the patter songs. He is featured on most of the D'Oyly Carte's early post-World War II recordings. Leaving the D'Oyly Carte company in 1951 and moving to America soon thereafter, he appeared in many stage roles on and off Broadway, and in films and TV. As this letter demonstrates, Green remained closely associated with the work of Gilbert & Sullivan: acting and recording, directing TV adaptations, writing a memoir and notes for a G&S songbook, and even doing a Campbell's Soup commercial to the music of "I am the very model of a modern Major Gen-er-al." Binding holes in top margin. Creased and toned. Corners lightly worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
