297* FITZGERALD, F. SCOTT A significant collection of correspondence from Fitzgerald to William Hodapp, Fitzgerald’s co-writer for the theatre and television productions of Diamond As Big As the Ritz.

Comprising the following: (1) Autographed letter signed, undated, 6 pp, in pencil, signed “Scott Fitzgerald.” Comprising numerous edits to Hodapp’s original script and commentary regarding Fitzgerald’s opinion of the original and adapted piece. (2) Typed letter signed, 1p., on Metro Goldwyn-Mayer Corp. letterhead, signed “Scott Fitzgerald” to “Bill Hodapp,” dated February 8, 1938. Fitzgerald informs Hodapp of the poor reception of the first production of “Diamond As Big As the Ritz” at the Pasadena Playhouse. He states: “I wish I could give you better news. Again, this lightness I felt was no fault of your dramatization but a skimpiness inherent in the novelette. Perhaps another production in some professional hands would leave a different story to tell. What are your plans for it next?”

Hodapp’s dramatization of Diamond As Big as the Ritz, or, as Fitzgerald refers to it, “the Hodapptation,” would see a second running on television during the Kraft Television Theatre, January 28, 1955. (Season 9, Episode 1) The accompanying pages of notes, which go into great detail concerning Fitzgerald’s opinion on the story and his own writing style, are undated and, therefore, one cannot tell whether they were meant to enhance the theatre production for television, or whether they were the first draft of what would be the first theatre production. Creased from the folds; minor toning to some pages; otherwise fine. Property from the Collection of William C. Hodapp, Old New Castle, Delaware $4,000-6,000
