April 11, 1924.

Mr. Monroe W. Pevear,
77 Brimmer Street,
Boston, Massachusetts.

My dear Mr. Pevear:

I regret to have to tell you that I have painted an entirely new cydgorama to match your sample of Pevear, and I find your lights are appallingly ineffective on it, particularly your blue lights. I cannot get a dark or rich blue sky to save my neck and it is simply knocking the scene I counted on for a rich blue sky in MASSE MENSCH plum to hell.

The cydgorama will undoubtedly have to be re-painted some time unless you can suggest something we can do to your lights to counteract the appalling thinness and paleness of the blue we get. If you have any ideas please telegraph full details, as I open Sunday night. This is the one scene in which the cydlorama is important and the one scene in which it falls down completely.

Very truly yours,

IS P
