Lovely tree and arbor drawing by artist Walt Kuhn, signed and inscribed by him to Mary MacArthur, daughter of Helen Hayes and Charles MacArthur. Celebrated as a skilled cartoonist and painter, Kuhn used green and black pens to draw this nature scene on the blank page of a book. Reads in full ''Dear Mary / Never trust a man / who paints pictures / Walt Kuhn / 1931''. On the verso, screenwriting legend Ben Hecht, who wrote ''The Front Page'' with Charles MacArthur, also writes to Mary: ''Mary when you're twenty three / On that sad day I reflect / You won't think of marrying me - / Poor bald doddering Bennie Hecht''. Page measures 7'' x 8.25''. Near fine.
