OKITO (Theo. Bamberg, 1875 ? 1963). Two Okito TLSs to John Braun. Written in August and Sept. 1953 on Berkeley Hotel (Louisville) stationery. Both letters discuss Fu Manchu (Okito's son): ?He opened at the ?Teatro Esperanza Iris" on September the 15th; and thank the goodness, hit was a decided success? David is no fool and knows what the people wants now-a-days." The earlier letter mentions his parting with Don Redmon: ?The work was rather too heavy for me on my age and besides Don has different plans? I wish him the best of luck, he deserves it?." With original mailing covers, one bearing Okito's embossed red seal. Both signed in Okito's hand, ?Theo."
