Wireless Telegram to the News Editor, Daily Graphic newspaper, London.
A carbon, in the hand of the wireless operator, on an official printed 'Post Office Telegraphs' form ('FOREIGN AND COLONIAL TELEGRAMS ONLY'). Good, on aged high-acidity paper, dimensions roughly 12.5 x 19 cm. Neatly laid down on a piece of brown card. Sent on Pickford and Fairbanks' honeymoon voyage to Europe. (Their arrival caused a sensation, with fans in London rioting and dragging Pickford out of her car in a frenzy to touch her hair and clothes.) Reads 'Via Wireless | P24 | Mary Pickford | Steamer Lapland | Valentia | Will you send greetings to millions of admirers in England through medium Daily Graphic | News Editor Daily Graphic | London.' The thought of the news editor of the Daily Graphic employing a spirit medium to communicate with Pickford's legion of fans is hard to resist.
