701 north canon drive

Dear Rose - A fan letter -
We saw Ben's preview a few
nights ago and enjoyed the
movie immensely. But to us,
and I think to Ben too, the
high spot of the evening was
Jenny. She was astonishing.
I'm not writing to give you my
personal reaction as it couldn't
be trusted but to tell you
of the audience reaction to
her very first words and
then in their untiring delight
in her every appearance.
This is beginning to sound
like a press release so I'll
quit and go sleep in "Quo Vadis".
Very affectionately,
Susan [Marx]
P.S. You would have had a wonderful
time - S.M.
