    Columbia Pictures Corporation 1438 NO. GOWER STREET HOLLYWOOD 28, CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLICITY September 28th 1955 Mr. Al Freeman The Sands Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Al: Last year when Olivia De Havilland was here and was visited by her fiance, who is now her husband, Pierre Galentei. I had set up f or~him To do a ~tre-~ ^ienS^^WI^i^ge for his magazine, PARIS MATCH. MATCH is the equivalent of LIFE Magazine in France, Today I received a letter from Pierre telling me he is coming here some time between October l5th and November 10th with Walter Carone, who Is supposed to be the top photographer in Europe. They will fly direct from Paris to Las Vegas. Originally I had Intended to set this up at the Frontier but I am now going to give you this project and I think it will be great. They want to shoot in black and white and color from every possible angle. I am writing Pierre telling him he will work through you so that you can control the whole situation. I believe the PARIS MATCH will devote at least 12 pages, maybe more, to this layout. Before I write him and tell him about you I would like to discuss it with you so will you call me if you are interested. There is much more to it and I will explain it on the phone when you call. Warmest regards, Siry?·krdly$ AH: mm
