COWARD NOEL: (1899-1973) English actor, director and playwright, Academy Award winner. T.L.S., Noel,
COWARD NOEL: (1899-1973) English actor, director and playwright, Academy Award winner. T.L.S., Noel, one page, 8vo, Les Avants sur Montreux, 12th July 1962, to Leonard Lyons. Coward thanks his correspondent 'for that unexpected windfall' and remarks 'As you predicted, the complications are considerable, but my lawyers are working on it. It was a sweet thought on the part of the Reader's Digest, and as I have told you so often before Leonard, it's the thought that counts'. Coward further writes 'Nothing sensational in the way of news - "Sail Away" is doing fine at the Savoy, and [Elaine] Stritch has made a great personal success. Harry (Kurnitz) is here tapping happily away at the book of "The Sleeping Prince" and I spend hours each day, dreaming at my piano. So I shall be back in the autumn - in other words, here we go again!'. Accompanied by the original envelope. VG
Sail Away is a musical with a book, music and lyrics by Noel Coward, being the last musical for which he wrote both the book and music. The show ran on Broadway in 1961 and in the West End the following year. Both the original Broadway and London cast starred Elaine Stritch as Mimi Paragon, a role for which she received a Tony Award nomination.
