Risë Stevens and Thomas E. Gaddis sign an album leaf in 1965.
Signature: \"Risë Stevens - Metropolitan Opera Nat. Co./Jan. 6, 1965\" and, on verso, inscribed signature: \"Hi George Sanders/Tom Gaddis\", 7x9¼ album leaf, front and verso. Captioned newspaper photograph, b/w, 1½x2¾, affixed beneath Stevens\' signature. Gaddis\' signature is written on a 3¼x3¼ sheet affixed on verso, which has captioned newspaper photograph, b/w, 3¼x4¼ affixed at lower margin of signature sheet. Mezzo-soprano RISË STEVENS (1913-2013) sang with the Metropolitan Opera for two decades (1944-1961), performing the part of Carmen 75 times. She also appeared on many other world opera stages and in films, including The Chocolate Soldier (1941) with Nelson Eddy and Going My Way (1944) with Bing Crosby. Shortly after retiring from the Met, Stevens sent a telegram to President Kennedy urging his intervention in a strike there. He responded, and the resulting arbitration saved the opera\'s 1961-1962 season. Stevens\' later responsibilities included that of first Director of the touring Metropolitan Opera National Company. Author THOMAS EUGENE GADDIS (1908-1984) is best known for his 1955 book, Birdman of Alcatraz, the best-selling biography of Robert Stroud. The book was adapted for the big screen in 1962. Gaddis, who was an educator, prison consultant and psychologist as well as a writer, also co-authored Killer: A Journal of Murder, the story of convicted Oregon serial killer, Carl Panzram, and he also worked on various other writing projects as well as serving as a court consultant. Lightly creased. Irregular left edge from removal from bound book. Numbered in ink at lower right corner of Stevens\' side and lower left corner of Gaddis\' side. Show through from note and photograph touches the \"tevens\" of signature on front as well as two words of writing (completely legible). Paper remnants at upper and lower margins of Stevens\' photograph. The \"ddis\" of Gaddis\' signature and the \"S\" of Sanders is written on black graphic imprinted on signature sheet (signature is completely legible).
