Description

Engel writes from the United States Naval Photographic Science Laboratory at the United States Naval Air Station in Washington, D.C. Engel discusses avoiding 'indoctrination school' and taking a correspondence course instead to become an officer. He speaks about people from Hollywood who are officers: Richard Carlson, Collier Young, Philo Higley, Frank Githens, Boyd Crawford, Hiram Sherman, Russell Hayden, Hugh MacMullen. Engel reports on the process of getting Creekmore transferred to Washington, D.C. He discusses life in the city; an upcoming production of 'Belle Helene' with Jarmila Novotna; Lillian Hellman's play The Searching Wind with Cornelia Otis Skinner, Dennis King, Dudley Digges, Montgomery Clift, and Barbara O'Neill; and spending time with the families of General Edwin Watson, [Felix?] Frankfurter, [Archibald?] MacLeish, and Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. Includes envelope.
