    Description

    This is a RARE One of a Kind Find! It is the ORIGINAL November 25, 1930 brown paper transcript copy of a Western Union Telegram sent to Bette Davis from her original Broadway agent Jane Broder. The Telegram transcript is approx 7" tall x 8" wide and typed on light brown paper.  It says that it was a "Night Letter" and was to be charged to Jane Broder.  Even has a blue pencil line where a word was crossed out when dictated!
    Great copy as well as Jane tells Bette to stay in Newtonville Mass until Mister Werner calls AND that Jane is glad Bette didn't "play schoolgirl" in some play that got bad notices!  This would have been RIGHT after Bette Davis's Broadway debut in Broken Dishes in 1929.
    Transcript is in VG-EX shape, paper is brittle and flaking around edges. Was originally purchased at Sid Cahuenga's One of a Kind store at Disney MGM Studios in the early 1990's. In fact, its still in the envelope it was bought in!
