Receipt signed: "Michael Strange" in pencil, 1p, 8¼x10¾. No place,

Poet, playwright and actress Blanche Marie Louise Oelrichs (1890-1950) used
the pen and stage name Michael Strange. A real estate heiress and debutante
active in the women's suffrage movement, she published her first book,
Miscellaneous Poems, in 1916. The second of her three husbands was stage
and silent film star John Barrymore. Actress Diana Barrymore was their daughter.
Strange's first Broadway play, Claire de Lune (1921), starred John and
Ethel Barrymore. In 1936, Strange commenced a popular New York City radio
program of poetry and music, eventually accompanied by a full orchestra. She
also lectured, which sheds some light on this correspondence. Leigh-Emmerich was
a lecture bureau. Binder holes at top. Pencil note (unknown hand) in upper left
corner. Overall, fine condition.
