* Friday, September 8, 1922 VARIETY i . 57, Holland Park, London, W. 11, Aug. 21, 1922. To the Editor of Variety : Sir: RE SOPHIE TUCKER • There seems to have been a doubt in the minds of some people as to the sen- sational success of Sophie Tucker during her stay in England, ^llow me to state that Miss Tucker was one of the biggest hits that have ever come to this country. Had she desired to remain I feel certain her success in England would have con- tinued indefinitely, as she was as big a hit in England as ever she was in America, if not greater. Apart from her success on the stage, she was in demand socially. She is no relative, although she is from my home town, Hartford, Conn. Miss Tucker was unable to accept more than two of the numerous cordial invitations extended to her by my wife to visit our home in London. There is a mistaken idea American acts have not been successful in England this summer. On the contrary, it has been my pleasure to have seen most of the American acts that have been here this summer, and 95 per cent, have positively been successful, but although they have made good with their audiences, from a commercial point of view, they are asking more money than they can command (in most cases) and more than the English managers can afford to pay at the pres- ent time. I feel certain that the same 95 per cent, could return here at a later date and be sure of bookings at salaries that would be well worth the trip. My only object in inserting this letter in the form of an advertisement is to do justice to so great an artiste as Sophie Tucker and to dispose of any erroneous im- pression maliciously circulated by a few disappointed people with nothing better to do. Very 'truly yours, TUCKER <i << THE SINGING VIOLINIST' » • ■ HM«M«IIIWm> H limwi|im H IIIIIIIIW|i m iM»«»lli|I M IIIHII MW imW»imH"»M' " ' ■■< '»i>niH«ii-Mmti)iiMifinHMtfMinii tmm iiiM m i mm ii m «'i"«» "" .winmm „_, „, „»„«„,! ,»™„»„.»,.*.».«««'.r.,».,»„».l».rt«l»-"« •«•••" - • *~. — . » >'•'«*«> •"•»«•■« * «*M»™i llM..»II..IU>.„„|f.M.., „...»,.»,., «*..„....«.„, ■ „„ Ill --T W M„H..l..mimM.W»~«WW«MWWM»«»M»MW.M.lHH.MW»MM t ^m.. l » .UWlmW!...!.., „ - -„ -„ - , mm , m
