Scope and content
Hotel Esplanade Pty. Ltd., Perth, W.A. - Returns ['The Royal Hunt of the Sun'] and thanks him for letting him read it again, comments on it, especially the difficulties in acting and directing it, thinks if Dexter does it as brilliantly as 'Chips' and he gets two first actors, it will be a big success; is in Australia, finds the stage squeaks and the dance studio next door 'lends jazz combo accompaniments to my silvery efforts'; saw Jim Mossman before he left. A note at the top of the letter signed by John [Perry]: 'V. Rum here will write soon'.
