GENERAL ARTISTS CORPORATION 8 SOUTH MICHIGAN AVENUE CHICAGO 3, ILLINOIS PHONE STATE 2-6268 January 14 , 1966 Mr. Jack Entratter Sands Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Jack: We have a firm offer on Red Skelton for the Mid-South Fair in Memphis, Tennessee, for two dates; September 30 and October 1; one performance on Friday night September 30 and two performances on Saturday, October 1st; afternoon and evening. This show will be at the Mid-South Coliseum and it is a beautiful spot. Lawrence Welk and Ernie Ford played there last year, the first year it was open. The money is a guarantee of $25,000.00 plus 65% of all money oyer and above $55,000.00. The potential gross, if the three shows were sold out, is $84,000.00, which gives Red a potential average of $18,850.00. The fair would furnish the orchestra, the complete supporting show, facili- ties and all other requirements. I would appreciate having an answer as soon as conveniently possible. Many thanks.
