113136 Maddox Street Bond Street; 11 August 1840. 3pp. 12mo. Fair on aged paper. Mathews begins by quoting contradictory passages from letters of Charles Mathews one from Mrs Mathews' 'Memoirs of Charles Mathews Comedian' 1839 and the other from Bunn's 'The Stage: Both before and behind the Curtain' 1840. Regarding a performance in Dublin in 1811 the letter Mrs Mathews quotes complains that although Mathews had been led to believe £600 would be raised and despite a full house 'When every account was closed the sum-up was 470l.' In the letter quoted by Bunn Mathews states that he never 'played to one full house in Dublin but once in Crow Street; and then they knocked down the door-keepers and got in for nothing. 289/. was returned for the greatest number of people ever collected in the building' Mrs Mathews has clearly taken offence at Bunn's printed comment that the account given by Mathews in the letter in his book 'does not exactly tally' with that given in the letter in her book. He attempts to placate her with a generous tribute to her husband: 'In all the relationships of life public or private I ever found ever reported & ever shall report my departed friend as a pattern of greatness not to be surpassed.' Bunn hopes she will permit him to pay his respects 'ere the week wanes'. In a postscript he writes: 'I had a chat with Charles about this very letter before he started for Dublin.' At the foot of the first page Mrs Mathews notes of the £289 'This alludes to the first account. A M'; and along the foot of the second and third pages 'Money was afterwards paid in which brought the total receipt to 470 A M'. 6 Maddox Street, Bond Street; 11 August 1840. unknown

1920List330New York: Arnold Genthe 1920. Silver gelatin print 6 ¾ x 9 ¼ inches on larger mount. Signed by Genthe on the mount inscribed by Marlowe as Marlowe Sothern on the mount as follows: “To Jean: our little comrade on our walks in Beautiful Stockbridge. In remembrance also of 'Sun Yat Sen' and Choo-Chio Chow. September. 1940. Julia Marlowe Sothern. Very Good. An uncommon image of the actress feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph inscribed later in her life is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years. We can find no record of a Jean or the names mentioned. <br /> <br /> Arnold Genthe who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio moved to New York in 1911 where he became a portrait photographer. He most likely took this picture in his stint on the east coast. We find no other record of this specific portrait of Marlowe. Some silvering at margins otherwise excellent with some light normal tanning to mount. Arnold Genthe unknown
24581No date or place. 1947. London. From the Macqueen-Pope papers. See the two men’s entries in the Oxford DNB. MP is not named as the author but there is no doubt that he is. Item one has corrections in his hand. Both versions are simply titled ‘Will Fyffe’. The two versions exhibit a number of differences from one another. It is not clear where the obituary was published but it was probably the London magazine ‘Everybody’s’ for which MP contributed a weekly column. ONE: 4pp 4to double-spaced on four leaves. Autograph corrections to first sentence and an altogether more untidy effect including an additional passage on the last page which is correctly positioned in the second draft below suggest that this is an earlier draft. Begins: ‘It was a freak of fortune that made Will Fyffe into a music hall star instead of remaining on the legitimate stage where he had made his beginning as a small boy.’ Contains information not present in the second version including several astute assessments. For example: ‘Unlike Sir Harry Lauder the other great Scot of the Halls Will Fyffe was a realist. He could create a character and be it. It was not Will Fyffe at whom you gazed it was a gamekeeper a centenarian a Scots engineer on a steamship a guard on the Highland Railway - finding a report of the Battle of Waterloo in the lining of his ill fitting cap a country doctor a real country bumpkin the blacksmith at Gretna Green or the inebriated gentleman to whom Glasgow belonged on a Saturday night. He studied his types and he reproduced them magnificently. They were real people.’ Other topics include his mastery of make-up international popularity and ‘magnificent service’ in the First World War. TWO: 3pp 4to single-spaced on three leaves. More polished than One and with emendations deletions and recasting. Ends: ‘Our stage has lost one of its greatest artists and finest men. How fine an actor he was few knew although one celebrated critic glimpsed it when he wrote “Mr Fyffe has a sob here of which Garrick had bee proud.’ No date or place. [1947. London.] unknown
2404512 June 1956. No place London. For information on Macqueen-Pope see his entry in the Oxford DNB. The present item is from his papers. Unsigned carbon copy of typed letter with ‘W. Macqueen-Pope’ typed below space for signature. 2pp 4to. Sixty-one lines of text. Text clear and complete on lightly aged and creased paper with slight water stain to one edge and damage to top left-hand corner from paperclip. The letter begins: ‘My Dear John / Re the toys which made Xmas long ago. One would want a picture of the men standing shoulder to shoulder down Ludgate Hill in the gutter selling the penny toys. These they carried on trays with a support round their necks. The toys were of all sorts - a list -’. A list of thirty-two lines follows beginning: ‘Little men taking off their tall hats when a string was pulled. / Little tortoises in boxes with glass tops which waggled their legs when moved.’ Ends with: ‘Little bits of metal like aeroplane propellors sic which rose in the air when pushed up a screwed rod. / Watchmen’s rattles - yellow and red. / Bulls eye lanterns.’ The recipient has followed each entry on the list with a tiny tick in ink. Macqueen-Pope continues with twenty-three lines listing ‘toys which have almost if not quite vanished - but which cost more than a penny - some as much as sixpence’. These include: ‘Tin palm tress sic bearing cocoanuts and a nigger smwarmed sic up it caught a cocoa nut in a try on his head and came down.’ and ‘The Wheel of Life - a circular tin affair looking like a round saucepan with no handle. It had slots in the side. Into the bottom went a spike. You put rolls of paper - with illustrations inside facing inwards you twirled it round looked through the slots and the pictures moved. This was the origin of the cinema.’ Also ‘Slap bangs which went off with a satisfying bang when dropped. Scared old men and made cyclists think they had a puncture.’ Postscript: ‘White mice and pigs made of sugar. Tiger nuts - locusts. Everlasting stick’. 12 June 1956. No place [London]. unknown
