Default Picked up a few more "Pride of the Yankees" pieces...

One, is a dated July 11, 1942 handwritten letter from Christy Walsh (Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig's agent) to Mr & Mrs Elmer Lee who he considered his true personal friends in regard to two (2) tickets to the press preview to the classic movie, "Pride Of The Yankees"

This was the preview that only the press and the actors would see as it was held on July 14, 1942 and the World Premiere was held on July 15, 1942 which was the opening day for the public to see the movie for the first time ... In addition to the letter is a dated Thursday evening July 14th, 1942 Preview Showing Original program for the press and actors only.

And the last piece is this Movie Still (TYPE 1) that was the image used for the program (the photo is pristine, as the spots appear courtesy of a inept 52 year old kid).
