Lists of 1940s Hollywood Addresses and Telephone Contacts for Party Invitations

An intriguing typed document, 3 pages, first and third of which dated October 3, 1941, on thin typewriter paper, providing three lists of names and their addresses and phone numbers (pages 2-3), evidently an internal studio document. The first page titled "List of names from Fox for their premiere of 'A Yank in the R.A.F." and including names from A - M, among which are Eric Blore, Ray Bolger, Charles Coburn, Ray Milland and others; the second page "Names and Addresses for Milton Berle's Party--Fox" and including such names as Cary Grant, Edgar Bergen, Mickey Rooney, 3 Stooges, John Garfield, Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Desi Arnaz and others; final sheet "Names and Addresses for Jilton[sic] Berle's Party--Fox" and including contacts for, among others, Eleanor Powell, Lana Turner, Dorothy Lamour, and the Andrews Sisters, with the address of Laraine Day crossed out and labeled "wrong." Folds, else fine. Those must have been some parties! (23258)
