This American screenwriter, director, producer and playwright co-authored the screenplay for "Boys Town," winning an Academy Award for Best Writing; in 1948 he became chief of production at MGM Studios, ascending to the presidency in 1951 with the departure of Louis B. Mayer, filling that office until 1956; among his plays are the Tony Award-winning "Sunrise at Campobello," for which he also wrote the screenplay. ANS, 1p, 7¼" X 10½", n.p., n.y. [1966]. Fine. Near the bottom of a one sentence typed note (dated 6 April 1966) sent him by noted Lincoln Scholar Arnold F. Gates (1914-93) on letterhead of "The Civil War Round Table of New York," Schary pens a bold reply in blue ballpoint. Gates had asked Schary, "If you can make this one I would be very pleased to have you attend as my guest," referring no doubt to a Civil War Round Table guest lecture -- to which Schary replied, "Dear Mr. Gates -- I would have enjoyed being there -- by some breakdown of U.S. Postal Service -- your invitation reached me on the 20th of April -- Perhaps next time -- Thanks -- Dore Schary." Most unusual in this form! Schary produced the 1955 documentary "The Battle of Gettysburg," hence his proven interest in the topic.
