This pop singing sensation of the latre '50s and '60s achieved stardom in 1957 with the single "Honeycomb" and a string of "Top Ten" singles such as "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," "Waltzing Matilda," "Are You Really Mine" and more, releasing bestselling singles and albums; in 1959 he briefly had his own television variety show; he also appeared in several films and numerous television specials. ANS (pencil), irregular-trimmed vaguely rectangular 7" X 4", n.p., n.y. Addressed to Don. Very good. Two fold lines and 4 tape stains at edges. Super early and cordial note to an admirer: "I'm not very good at Verses but I would like to say thank you for your wonderful letter. It helps so much in this business to have people who are sincere tell you that you performed well. Good luck in the Service." Though undated, this is of late 1950s vintage when Rodgers was at the height of his fame and seemingly overwhelmed and insecure. Accompanied by a large 8½" X 11½" half-length portrait of a young Rodgers strumming a guitar, seemingly removed from a book or programs (and with images of two other singers on verso). Very good. Several fold lines and several tape stains at edges. He pencils an inscription in blank but darkish areas at upper left and upper right (making for poor contrast): "Hi Don, / Thank you for / being so nice" at left and "Best of Luck / and happiness / always / Jimmie Rodgers" at right. Despite being in pencil and condition issues this is an unusual pair from the early years of Rodgers career. Seller Inventory # 48307

the photos show the Admiral bareheaded with medals and decorations, on one side and the Monument to the Heroes and Martyrs of 1480 inaugurated by him on 3rd December 1922 at Otranto on the other, on the reverse there is a printed transcription of the Admiral's speech on the occasion, and his autograph note to "the valorous General Pinzio BIROLI", with "heartfelt thanks for the pamphlet 'El Ejercito National'", (sic, 'the National Army'), sending his "cordial congratulations on his fruitful work on the Equator and sincere regards", 5½" x 7", no place, ca. The admiral's speech, in the presence of Prince Umberto, refers to 'a marvellous throb of vigorous new activity', meaning the Fascist revolution of six weeks before. Thaon di Revel had served with distinction in the Italo-Turkish war of 1911, the monument in the photograph recalling an earlier destruction of Otranto by the Turks. As chief of naval staff, 1913, he built up the Italian Fleet Air Arm preparatory to entering the war and was overall commander (at his own insistence) of all naval forces, including British and French, in the Adriatic.
