Fu-Manchu (David Bamberg). Two-Page Fu-Manchu Typed Letter Signed. Gibraltar, ca. 1937. Bamberg writes to John [Dittmar] in great detail, filling the pages with revealing content and describing his recent triumphs in pre-war Spain with an “all new” show and urges Dittmar to stay out of show business. “Take my advice and forget it.” Bamberg goes on, boasting, “…I think I make as much money as any magician to-day [sic], and more than most shows. But believe me, John, when I have enough to get out and invest into another business, where my profits will be the twentieth part of what they are now, I’ll do it.” Even so, he states, “We played six weeks to packed houses, two shows a day and three on Sundays. Then we opened in another theatre and did the same for two weeks more.” Other topics include his father, planned tours, family life, and the makeup of his new show. On illustrated letterhead billing Fu-Manchu as being “presented” by Okito. Old folds. Signed “Dave.”
