HEY – YOU – We're having a party to celebrate the Wooster Group and to start the endless irritating money-raising that will be necessary to produce another round of the Wooster's special brand of dramaturgical eccentricity. Who the hell are you, you may well ask, to tell me where my money should go? OK. Well, my name is Buck and there's my picture above- I'm the one sitting next to his famous friend whom I'm sure you have recognized by now. It's around 1940 and we're sitting on the back of a dressing room trailer on the Warner Brothers lot. There are NO copies of this photo. It's been in my possession all my life. Until now. I am abandoning its privacy in hopes that you will be curious enough to buy some tickets to the Wooster gala – hang out for the evening with the Wooster folk – and me – and maybe some surprise entertainment – in return for which I will send you a second letter with an explanation of how this photo came about and where the scary looking bruise on my forehead came from and how it came to pass that later that afternoon I watched an amazing thespic parade consisting of Bogie, Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet and Elisha Cook Jr. file out of a utility closet over and over again onto the set of the Maltese Falcon, solemnly zipping their flies as they went. IT WILL BE WELL WORTH IT!
