24525Beauchamp’s commissioning TLS: 15 September 1953; on letterhead of publishers Newnes & Pearson’s London. Carbon of MP’s covering TL: 24 September 1953. MP’s article undated but contemporaneous. From the Macqueen-Pope papers. The occasion of the article was the forthcoming premiere of Rattigan’s play ‘The Sleeping Prince’ Olivier’s production of which at the Phoenix Theatre in London opened on 5 November 1953. The movie rights were bought by Marilyn Monroe and the Hollywood film appeared in 1957 as ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’ with Olivier reprising his stage role and Rattigan also writing the filmscript. See the entries on the Oliviers and Macqueen-Pope in the Oxford DNB. Interest in Beauchamp’s novels has grown in recent years. All three of the present items are lightly-aged and in fair condition; the first two somewhat creased at extremities the third less so. Item One with rust spots to one corner from paperclip. ONE: ALS from ‘Barbara Beauchamp / Fiction Editor’ Newnes & Pearson’s London 15 September 1953. 1p 12mo. Sheila Gould has informed her that MP ‘will be able to write us a 1500 word feature article on the new Terence Rattigan play which the Oliviers are appearing in’. The publishers are planning the feature ‘as a double spread in our issue of the 5th November which is incidentally both the opening night and I believe Vivien Leigh’s birthday’. She asks for the article before the end of the month and suggests ‘a payment of forty guineas for British Empire serial rights’. The following two items are typed on 4to leaves of cartridge paper. TWO: Carbon of MP’s covering TL to Beauchamp 24 September 1953. 1p 4to. With short autograph pencil filing note by MP. Begins: ‘Here you are - the Olivier and Leigh First Night story - not critical naturally as being written before the event - but an attempt to show the whys and wherefores of the importance of this occasion and a little of the Theatre atmosphere.’ He asks her to excuse his typing: ‘being in the middle of hectic rehearsals at Drury Lane and without a secretary throws it all on me’. In a postscript he suggests a future article on ‘the inside story of a first night’. THREE: Duplicated Typescript of MP’s article ‘This is Real Theatre / The Oliviers Return to Town / by / W. Macqueen-Pope’. It does not seem to have been published in book form nor does it appear to have left a digital footprint. 6pp 4to with each page on its own leaf. Double-spaced. MP begins in anticipation of a first night ‘providing a thrill which no other type of entertainment can give a thrill beyond anything which the Films the Circus Radio or Television can compass and which even Grand Opera never reaches in general appeal’ when ‘the Leader of his Profession and his Leading Lady take the stage again’. He places the occasion within a wide context with historical references beginning with ‘the first true Theatre in Europe - that playhouse so rightly called The Theatre in Shoreditch where it arose in 1576’. After mentioning a number of notables in the history of the London stage he praises Rattigan’s play of which he gives a synopsis. He continues in fulsome terms: ‘Everybody who is Anybody - and a sprinkling of those who are not - will be there. . It will be like one of the great days of old. . an Occasion of Occasions’.

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

In two fourteen-line stanzas. Chorus: 'Dreams dreams all dreams Sorrow is real and all else seems'. Containing several minor emendations. Begins: 'Sitting alone - musing alone With a click of coral in the dull red glow Only heard with the low deep moan Of the wintry wind o'er a waste of snow'. Apparently unpublished but see Blanchard's "Life and Letters": "14th December 1862. To Olympic ; see Camilla's Husband .- 1 a good piece. 20th. Make a fair copy of pantomime for Drury.

17435Both from 'Casa Mickie the second spelled 'Casa Micki' Gardone Riviera Lago di Garda Italy. 16 July 1953 and 5 August 1953. Two chatty and characteristic letters. ONE: 15 July 1953. 2pp. 4to. On aged paper with wear to edges and vertical closed tear at foot. She begins by praising his books 'Ladies First' 1952 and 'Shirtfronts and Sables' 1953 adding in an autograph note 'Yes I bought them when in London.' The first contains 'that wonderfully beautiful tribute to Ellen Terry. I don't know when I have read anything which moved me so deeply you rose to great heights when you wrote that. You are beginning to run James Agate very close on my shelves'. She next turns to her books on Henry Irving and Ellen Terry: 'Did you read the Shaw-Terrty letters - autograph note: 'Of course you did!' they sent my blood pressure mounting sky high - his at least. What a stupid wind bag of a man and how charming her letters were to him. It was the same with Mrs Patrick Campbell's letter to him and from him.' The rest of the letter contains references to 'dear Seymour Hicks' 'adorable Ella' and a trip on her birthday 'to Asolo where Duse lived': 'Oh what a sad town and the saddest of all the room in the little museum filled with her belongings - some photographs one signed one of Ibsen looking furious with the world in general some books a few bits of rather paltry jewellry and some dresses and shoes. There was the inevitable intense letter written by that cad d'Annunczio sic in his sprawling self satisfied writing'. She ends with an apology for 'this over long and - no doubt - badly spelt - letter' and with remembrances to 'Mrs "Mac.Pope"'. TWO: 5 August 1953. 1p. 4to. On aged paper creased and with fraying along one edge. She is using the abbreviation to him that she also sends 'to Yvonne Arnaud and Julia Neilson': '"T.R.N.A." - in other words this requires no answer'. She thanks him for information on 'the mirror act' which she saw 'years and years ago at the Middlesbrough Empire and the name on the bill was "The Wylie Brothers"'. She is pleased that 'Teddy Knox' remembers her: 'The last time I saw him was in Rome when I think he was bored stiff with St. Peters but full of admiration for the "Wedding Cake"'. She prefers Knox's wife Clarice Mayne to him and discusses the film that was to be made about her life. Both from 'Casa Mickie [ the second spelled 'Casa Micki' ], Gardone Riviera, Lago di Garda, Italy. 16 July [ 1953 ] and 5 August unknown
7546'Weightman Mountain & Andrews Ltd. Printers 31 & 33 Victoria Street Westminster S.W. 14/2/10' i.e. 14 February 1910. Dimensions roughly 26 x 20 cm. Four printed pages in a bifolium stapled into coloured illustrated covers.

Half-page 'Refreshment Tariff'. Cast list and details of performance in central double-page spread. Doyle took a six-month lease on the Adelphi in order to produce 'The House of Temperley'. The death of King Edward VII caused a serious slump in ticket sales and this coupled with the subject which was considered unsuitable for ladies resulted in a short run. There is no copy of this item on COPAC. The play did not appear in book form. Note: "The House of Temperley is a 1913 British silent drama film directed by Harold M. Shaw and starring Charles Maude Ben Webster and Lillian Logan.1 It is based on the 1896 novel Rodney Stone by Arthur Conan Doyle and is sometimes known by the alternative title Rodney Stone. The House of Temperley was the first film made by the London Film Company and first shown in Nottingham" Wikipedia not mentioning the play; B. See also Conan Doyle Encyclopedia. See Image.
