Beschreibung

- Over 270 words reproduced on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide cream paper. A form letter addressed to Post editor William Emerson appealing for editorial support in Rudolf Friml's efforts to change copyright laws in the United States, "Many men dedicate themselves to their businesses and factories and leave the results of their labors to their children and widows. Composers and authors are not so lucky. After 56 years of publication my works will go into what is called 'Public Domain,' . This year my composition 'The Firefly' will go into that realm." Signed "Rudolf Friml" in blue ink. There are staple holes to the top left corner. Very good. Together with a photocopy of a May 10, 1968 letter from Herman Finkelstein, general counsel for the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers to William R. Osteck regarding the expiration of the copyright for "The Firefly" and expressing the Society's financial support in Rudolf Friml's trip to lobby Congress. Also included is a photocopy of an article mentioning the expiration of copyright for "The Firefly" and a retained copy of Jeff Brown's response on behalf of The Post regretting that the subject isn't of enough interest to their readers.
