am 8350 N. KIMBALL AVENUE THE GILBERT MILLER AGENCY SMKMlBmmmDSlKiffiOlOeC. SKOKIE. ILLINOIS 60076 ?╟≤ PHONE (312) 674-3630 Ccrhfc Address: Gilmittmr 5kokimilllnoi$ August 2, 197^ Mr* Bonn Arden c/o MGM Grand Hotel, Inc.' 10202 West Washington Boulevard Culver City, California 90230 Dear Donm This is the first opportunity I have had to xsrite you to thank you for being your guest at the MGM Grand Hotel last Monday, July 29th. I witnessed the greatest extravaganza presented live on stage. You've got to be the finest producer in the world today?╓¬ You literally overwhelmed met I know that you have always been capable of producing fine production numbers, but you actually showed what is really within you on that magnificent stage and the mechanical effects that were built for that showroom to bring out every phase that is in the brains of Donn Arden?╓¬ You brought tears to my eyes many times during the production, because I, myself, am a perfectionist and I highly admire someone else who is a perfectionist in what he is doing* The MGM people should be proud to have obtained your services, because I don't know of anyone else in this country or in other countries that could do this job. As you know, I travel the world looking for things also, and I know of no one else that could have done the job as 1 asw at the MGM Grand H0tel. Ifm only sorry that I was not able to bring my wife this time, but it is becoming more and more difficult to leave the office, as things become more hectic every day. However, I plan on being in Vegas again in September and perhaps at that time she will be able to come with me, as I want her to see the MGM Grand "Hallelujah Hollywood1* show.1 It's definitely something that must be seen, especially if you are in show business?╓¬ It is the epitome of all productions^ I now know why you never bought the Wallace Brothers. The two black boys you have in the show are great and The Wallace Brothers could never have done what I saw these two boys do. Your txfo boys have musical comedy background, while the Wallace Brothers are only a great stage act. The male singer is terrific. Siegfried & Roy and (continued)
