MARX (Groucho). Lettre signée « Your loving Groucho », en anglais, à son épouse Ruth Johnson, et à leurs enfants Arthur et Miriam. New York, s.d. Une p. in-folio dactylographiée, en-tête imprimé « Hotel Élysée ». SUR UN PROJET DE SERIE RADIOPHONIQUE DES MARX BROTHERS. Il s’agit probablement de Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel, programme comique financé par des compagnies pétrolières américaines, et qui compta 13 épisodes diffusés du 28 novembre 1932 au 13 janvier 1933, sur le Blue Network de la National Broadcasting Company. S’ensuit UNE DESCRIPTION DROLATIQUE DE L’HIVER NEW-YORKAIS. « ... We auditioned yesterday for the oil company, and apparently it was very good, at least they thought it was good enough to offer us eight weeks work. This we rejected, as we want twelve weeks. You see they have only eight more weeks to go on their present contact with Columbia Broadcasting, and they are not certain wether they want to continue through the summer. We turned it down, not definitely, but told them we wouldn’t take it, as by accepting their eight weeks it virtually made it impossible for us to negotiate any other deal. We are bluffing a little as we may take it if only for the eight weeks, but it may be wise for us to refuse it and take a chance on something else materializing. I was plenty nervous auditioning. It’s much more nerve wracking than a regular program. On an audition you feel that any kind of a slip up may decide the account against you, whereas when you have a contract, you know that even if something goes wrong you are still assured of the balance of the contract. Well, fortunately it passed along smoothly, and everyone felt satisfied that we had a successful try-out. There is no need to tell you what kind of weather we have been having lately... It was gratifying to realize that my time in Hollywood hadn’t softened me up to such a degree that I wouldn’t be able to withstand the cold. I came through like a little man, summer underwear and all, and I now know that no frigid weather can ever frighten me again. The river s a frozen over, I am frozen under, but by keeping the windows closed, the heat on, a hot water bottle in bed, and plenty of copious draughts of Hennessy Brandy, the blood is still coursing through my veins... »
