He did not expr any interest in the overa managerial Sob but simply in the publicity por J 7 - ieee i ae] 2 I did not suggest it to him, I did,however, encourage him to write you regarding the publicity job - where I think his real talent lies, as 1 told you - and suggested that he make some definite offers to you of his services. I do not know how far you have gone with the other man, from Sylva, but if the job is still open I would recomuend that you co: wider Mark as a possibility. lie hes done some fine publicity work for us here. In connection with the publicity, when you have decided on the man, I should appreciate having an opportunity of a session or so with him, so that I can give him whatever information , slants, etc., he may need from the director's point-of-view, and so that T can arrange a method of getting publicity information on personnel, sich as lir. Kilpatrick, to him fron time to tine. Miss Boyden's article, by the way, was a fine job, and seemed to be used generally by the papers around % vis area last Sunday. Another matter you asked me to look into — that of Kermit and the royalty rights for book, movie or radio. I talked with Saz Selden and with Walter Pritchard Eaten, who is guest lecturer on our 6 aff again this year, and their fecling was that Kermit should have the miniaua standard rights that are allowed authors who are members of the Dramatist's Guild. According to lr, Baton, the minimum is 60% to the author,l0% to the producer, for novie or radio-television rights.As for book rights, li. Baton says that customarily all author's royalties go te the author, if the book is published by 2 professional publishing company; he sug: ests that if the Association itself were to turn publisher, Kermit should get 10% of book royalties. That seems to be about all I can learn as to what is customary, and I au sure that you will find Kermit quite willing to cooperate in any Way, and quite modest in his demands, As a matter of fact, I feel that we should think twice before we sold any movie rights, since it would have an effect on attendance. I don't selieve radio or television could make much use of the script, except possibly to use short scenes or condensations, which we might utilize as advertising media rather than as commercial ventures. The book, if published, might make goue money, if it were sold at the theatre ( and if the show were pleasing to the audience). Later, when we get over the big hurdle of actually getting the shor open, something might be worked out with George Stephens, so that the book could be locally published, and both the Association and Kermit benefit thereby. The University Press might also publish it. George Stephe could probably advise on that,too, since he is pretty familiar with the Pres: affairs, I believe. One final matter you asked me to look into was that of the Carnegie Foundation. Raymond Taylor, who directs the Burnsville project, tells me that Prank Graham was actually the person who swung the grant they got for the Playhouse project there. Apparently lir. Graham is on one of the Carnegie Committees, and from what lie. Taylor says, the request was handled as partially a request from the University, since the Burnsville group give extension courses in theatre art and art in general. I have droped Frank Graham a note, since I know him pretty well, and asked if I can see him at his earliest convenience next time he is here. If I am able to catch him, I will ask for his advice, in a purely unofficial and informal way, and pass it along as soon as possible. It may be that Billy Carmichael could also help us, if you and the Beard wanted to put any emphasis on the Playmaker or University cooperation an le, However, that is a matter that you can judge much better than I, and since my om feeling is that for the time being the Cherokee Historical Association itself should be the big idea, I shall not make any inquiries of lr, Carmichael, If you should wish me to, however, I shall be happy to do sd, you. said here m so long in getting these matters off to It may ts that : y ao here over the present weekend, since you that you night be back dn ee aes in about two weeks, when you were before.
