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

For information on Littler see the entry in the Oxford DNB of his brother Prince Frank Littler 1901-1973 who did not share Emile’s ‘affection for plays or players individually’. Also see Macqueen-Pope’s entry in the same work. The three items in fair condition lightly aged and creased. Both signed ‘Emile’. ONE: TLS of 15 November 1957. 1p 4to. Reads: ‘My dear Popie / You know about everything in the Theatre and I am wondering if you could tell me how many London pantomimes Julian Wylie did either by himself or as the Wylie-Tate organisation. / I would be very interested to know if by any chance you have this information available.’ In autograph: ‘Many THANKS -’ and minor correction. With pencil note by recipient. TWO: TLS of 19 November 1957. 1p 4to. He thanks him for his letter ‘which I greatly appreciate. / I had been asked whether Julian Wylie had done more pantomimes in London than I had or vice versa. I had an idea that I was quite a number ahead and you have kindly confirmed it. Actually I have done fourteen in the West End and nobody living to-day has done as many as that.’ He thanks him for his trouble and evidently sending a bottle of wine ends: ‘Would you toast Julian with the attached.’ THREE: Unsigned carbon of Macqueen-Pope’s reply to Item One 18 November 1957. Speaking form memory since his ‘references’ are ‘at home’ he gives details of ‘nine major pantomimes’ that ‘Julian did’ in London. 15 and 19 November 1957. Both on his letterhead.
