From his book "The Flag is Flying" pg. 76 "I had been able to get the rights to Tennessee Williams' great success (The Glass Menagerie) directly from his formidable agent, Audrey Wood. They were the first foreign rights to be given anywhere in the world. Apart from having become close friends, I had been able to help her with a personal problem concerning Tennessee Williams. This was my reward, so to speak. This put South African literature at the forefront of world attention." MCA card also attached to the fep with "Please return to Audrey Wood" printed on it.
