RE: The Marquee Group, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form 8-A
Registration No. 1-14454
----------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of The Marquee Group, Inc. (the "Company"), we hereby request the
Commission's consent to withdraw the above-referenced Registration Statement
(the "Exchange Act Registration Statement"). The Company does not anticipate
that its Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-11287) relating to
its initial public offering will be declared effective prior to the date upon
which the Exchange Act Registration Statement will become effective pursuant
to the provisions of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Therefore, the Company intends to withdraw the Exchange Act
Registration Statement and refile in it the near future.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at (212) 891-3879 if I can be of any
further assistance.
Sincerely,
/s/ R. Scott Montell
