It looks like that signature on the left starts with a "G" - so I'm thinking maybe that's Groucho's signature? But his legal name was Julius, so maybe not? As for the "ouch" letter, I guess they were as blunt in 1934 as they are in 2016!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://martinturnbull.com/2015/04/13/zeppo-marx-talent-agency-8732-sunset-blvd/#comment-368257">Jean Hunter</a>.</p> <p>It looks like that signature on the left starts with a “G” – so I’m thinking maybe that’s Groucho’s signature?

By 1939, Zeppo had apparently moved. Cracks me up as he added what looks like "Vice" under his signature. Well, at least he was honest! http://www.lib.umd.edu/LAB/exhibits/leadingrole/js-images/JS-con4.jpg Here's an "ouch" letter from 1934 when he was part of another agency. I guess all I can say is at least the screenwriter received a response. What happened to common courtesy today? https://www.historyforsale.com/productimages/jpeg/178171.jpg Love all your posts!

You're welcome, Martin. I've loved old Hollywood forever, and worked in entertainment (boring business end) from 1987 to 2005. That said, I certainly didn't know all the site details you post here. I've focused more on my favorite stars: Barbara Stanwyck and Ginger Rogers. I had the honor of being acquainted with Ginger Rogers from 1987 until her passing. I never got to meet Barbara, but did get to know several people who knew her, including the irreplaceable, A.C. Lyles. Anyway, I certainly don't know everything about old Hollywood, but if it has to do with Rogers or Stanwyck, I know more than most. I love this site.
