1960 letters between Ray Russell, Playboy Editor, writer Eric Bentley

Shows that in its time, magazine was also a provider of intellectual content.

June 1 1960 letter from Russell to Bentley

First is an unsigned typewritten letter to Bentley, address in NYC. I assume filed copy of original.

Russell confirms galleys received, and his article will appear in the October issue. He has read Bentley’s translation of Brecht and hopes Bentley will become a regular contributor on theatrical subjects. But an article on Brecht may not be for Playboy’s readers, so other topics will be discussed.

Letter very yellowed. Some paper nicks right border.

July 18 (1960) letter from Bentley to Russell

Bentley thanks Editor for sending him copy of Playboy with article on Tennessee Williams. In return, he has sent copy of his book on Offenbach’s Orpheus, which scandalized the NY critics. Perhaps playboy might want to publish excerpts

Signed by Bentley.

 Toning around edges. Horizontal folds. Crease UR corner.
