May 28, 1956

Dear Alan:

May I cash in on that charming promise
you made me at Robert's the other day and ask
to buy a pair of seats for MY FAIR LADY for
next Tuesday, June 5th? I can assure you they
are for me myself, but I would like very much
to have them that night to share with a friend
from New Orleans.

Will you let me know as soon as possible?

Many thanks.

Sincerely,

Mr. Alan Jay Lerner

Dear Alan:

You remember Mary of Scotland's line -
"After I am dead you will find Calais written
upon my heart" -- that is the way I will
always feel about PYGMALION. But the perfect
job you have done certainly mitigates my
suffering. I can only congratulate you on the
superb welding of all the component parts with
the original so that they seem to be conceived
and executed by one master mind.

When Molnar refused both Puccini and
Gershwin the right to add music to LILIOM, he
said, "It is my favorite play. If it were made
into an opera or musical, it would cease to
belong to me." How right he was -- and yet
CAROUSEL made him very happy. I think even the
super-particular G.B.S. would be happy over MY
FAIR LADY, even though nine-tenths of the
audience will never think of it as anything but
a musical comedy by you and Fritz. Your lyrics
and Fritz's music are flawless, not to mention
the cast and director. They should atone to
G.B.S. for the mayhem committed on ARMS AND THE
MAN.

Thanks for a second very happy evening and
renewed congratulations on a magnificent job!

Sincerely,

YOU ARE ON OUR V.I.P. LIST

Dear Theatregoer:

Because your Theatre Guild membership indicates that you like fine theatre, we are bringing to your attention an extraordinary work of stagecraft beautifully carried out on film. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, whose combined talents created the modern theatre miracle called "MY FAIR LADY," have now achieved "GIGI"--a stage-film marriage made in heaven! It is a sensation in New York, where it recently opened to unanimously glowing and enthusiastic reviews.

(N.Y. Times--"The 'Fair Lady' of filmdom."
N.Y. News--"An Enchanting Musical." N.Y. Herald
Tribune--"An Exquisite Work of Art. Should run
three years." N.Y. Post--"Topflight.")

Based on the famous Colette novel, "GIGI" is the story of a capricious, fun-loving young girl who was taught a new way of life which included some awfully grown up ideas about love, sex, and no marriage! It is a new feather in the Lerner-Loewe cap. Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan as the young lovers, and Maurice Chevalier, the eternal boulevardier with a roving eye, are among the many superb performers.

"GIGI" is filled with hit songs. Just as "MY FAIR LADY" tunes swept the country, so will the new Lerner-Loewe songs capture your fancy. You'll be singing or listening to "Gigi," "The Night They Invented Champagne," "Say A Prayer For Me Tonight," "I Remember It Well," "The Parisians," "A Night At Maxim's" and many, many others.

As a Theatre Guild-American Theatre Society member, you are being offered a V. I. P. opportunity of securing your tickets in the best locations. If you rush your order--it will be among the first to be filled.
