Autograph Letter Signed ("Hitch"), 2 pp, 8vo (conjoining leaves), New York, [1949], to John Dall, on St. Regis letterhead, horizontal fold crease, else excellent, with original autograph transmittal envelope. Although primarily a stage actor, John Dall is best remembered for his 1948 role in Hitchcock's Rope. Hitchcock had just seen Dall on stage at the Mansfield Theatre: "I thought your performance was almost as good as the one in Rope but only 99% as good." He goes on to mention his daughter Patricia, "who has just completed her first year at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Although what good that will do her I haven't the faintest." See illustration.
