SELZNICK, DAVID O. 1902-1965.

WITH second copy, incomplete, but containing green revision pages of the Steinbeck piece.

In 1954 motion picture producer David O. Selznick turned his attention to television, producing "Light's Diamond Jubilee," a special celebrating 60 years of electricity in America that was broadcast simultaneously on all four networks (ABC, NBC, CBS and DuMont). Steinbeck contributed a humorous monologue on the effect of electricity on the common man, performed on the show by actor George Gobel.
