About this Item
Description:
Written in pencil by 'Mayhew' on an official printed 'Post Office Telegraphs' form, stamped with telegraph number and dated postmark. Good, on aged high-acidity paper, dimensions roughly 14 x 21.5 cm. Neatly laid down on a piece of brown card. Sent on Pickford and Fairbanks' honeymoon voyage to Europe. The couple have 'received so many lovely messages from friends in England' that Pickford's 'Life Long dream of visiting the old country seems to be all [she] had hoped more [sic] and that saying great deal Douglas is ready to jump from the Top mast the minute we sight Southampton'. The couple are 'both thrilled beyond words'. The telegram ends 'Mary Pickford'. The couple's arrival in England caused a sensation, with a riot in London in which Pickford was dragged from a car and shaken up by fans trying to touch her hair and clothes. See Image.
