Letter from Julius Klein, Universal Pictures Corporation, California, to Methold Sidney Parry regarding proposed film about Roger Casement,
1934 September 10.
Writes to Parry about the screen play: "... a lot of fiction must be added in order to make the picture entertaining to the general public. A mere biographical script would not do. Casement's life was so full of drama that I am sure a screen play, if adapted, will be successful." He goes on to mention his book on Casement which he is writing: "It will interest you to know that I am also writing a book on his life ... My assistant Mr. Joseph Roos, editor of the German Staats-Herold in Chicago, is conducting the research work for my book on Sir Roger Casement".
