- Lot Description
STEINBECK, John (1902?1968). Typed document signed (?John Steinbeck?) for his narration of the adapted O. Henry stories for the motion picture entitled ?The Full House? by Twentieth Century?Fox, 17 January 1952. 2 pages, 4to (294 x 216 mm), on Twentieth Century?Fox letterhead, staple punctures to upper left corner. A contractual agreement between Steinbeck and the studio to produce William Sydney Porter?s (?O. Henry?) short stories into a motion picture with Steinbeck appearing in the photoplay as narrator who is to be paid the sum of $8,000 for his performance. Accepted and SIGNED BY STEINBECK and the Executive Vice?President of the Studio. The anthology film ?O. Henry?s Full House? premiered in September 1953 in Los Angeles consisting of five parts including Howard Hawks? ?The Ransom of Red Chief? which was so poorly received that the studio removed it before the film opened in New York that October. Steinbeck?s only on?camera appearances were to introduce each story.
