Jonuary 17th, 1986 My dear Jerry Fngelbach, Your very sweet and dear letter has been buried in the avalanche of Christmas matl so please forgive my belated ansuer as well as my belated best New Year's wishes to you and the SOHO REP, When Mr. Griffith announced that he wanted to film "Faust" we looked tt up and found out thot it had alunys beena hox office logser., On the other had, STho Two Orphans” had always been a winner and we took Mr. Griffith dom to 14th Street to see an Italian verston that was then playing - hence the enormous successful film vs. what most likely would have been a failure. D. W. ws indeed a genius but I still have my doubts about "Faust." with my every fond wish to you and your company. Most earnestly,
