The Big Trail
The most important picture ever produced
Grand Canyon, Arizona, August 1, 1930.
Winfield Sheehan,
Vice-President,
Fox Film Corporation,
Hollywood, California.
Leaving tonight for Hollywo< with unit. Am quite sure that tl scenic beauties filmed at the Grai Canyon will further enhance TH BIG TRAIL.
Am deeply grateful for yo lengthy wire conveying the chee ful news that Mr. Harley Clarke is enthused over the pictur Likewise your mention of Col. J< of the Hays office going on recoi that it is the most important Fc Film Corporation contribution the screen to date. Likewise $ optimism of Jimmie Quirk i Photoplay after both seeing tl rough cut. All of which makes n feel that the terrific grind of foi months has its compensation aft all.
We are all hoping that the r suit of our efforts will be som thing that will help successfully inaugurate the first year of organization with Harley L. Clarl as its head.
