95. Minnelli,Vincente. Typed letter signed, to S.J. Perelman. March 26,1936. "Theidea of trying to interest you in a revue has often occurred to me as your work has been one ofmy principal enthusiasms for a long time, ever since the days when I waited anxiously for yourthings to appear in College Humor....." Remains of mounting paper on verso. The title "LookWho's Talking" is written in pencil across the top of the letter (by Perelman). The two wouldnot collaborate until several years later, when Perelman completed a script for Minnelli'snever-realized idea of an all-black cast musical of "Serena Blandish". Perelman's fantastic NewYorker profile of Minnelli was reprinted in "The Best of S.J. Perelman". [28700]

108. Perelman, S.J. and Laura Perelman. "The Bat". Screenplay. Hollywood: 1940. Firstdraft typescript (ribbon copy on Fidelity onion skin paper). 84 pages. Brad-fastened intotextured paper covers from The Orsatti Agency, with typed cover label. Screen adaptation ofthe popular 1920 play by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, which itself wasadapted from her 1908 classic mystery "The Circular Staircase". A silent version had beenproduced in 1926, and a 1930 version was entitled "The Bat Whispers" served as an inspirationto Bob Kane in the creation of Batman. James Roosevelt, son of the President, who had noexperience in motion pictures, set up a production company in late 1939 and hired thePerelmans to write this first film he wanted to produce. They began work on January 29 and byFebruary 26, when the picture (along with Roosevelt's entire plan to produce feature films)was abandoned, they had written 108 pages. (Cf. S.J. Perelman letter to Augustus Goetz, Jan.27 and Feb. 26, 1940, published in Don't Tread On Me.) [31177]

A comparison with the published play shows that action in our typescript corresponds veryroughly to acts one and two. As far as we can tell, this is the only surviving relic of what mighthave been an interesting dramatic version.

Quoting Wikipedia: "In 1920, Palmer entered the "Fame and Fortune Contest" advertised inMotion Picture Magazine. She won the contest, and was heralded by the magazine as the "mostbeautiful girl in America." The magazine's publisher, Eugene V. Brewster,[whom she wouldmarry in 1926] allowed Palmer significant publicity in the magazine, and began to promote heras she embarked on a film career. Between 1921 and 1923, Motion Picture Magazine publisheda total of twenty-three articles on Palmer, while its sister publication, Motion Picture Classic,published an additional story on the actress.Palmer also had a face powder named after her,created by the Wilton Chemical Company in New York City and also appeared on the cover ofBeauty, a women's magazine.She made her film debut in the short From Farm to Fame, documenting her public notorietyafter winning the contest, followed by an acting role in Her Second Chance (1926). Afterending her acting career in 1931, Palmer continued to model cosmetics.
