24557Gordon’s letter to Macqueen-Pope is dated 28 December 1950; on letterhead of ‘Everybody’s’ 114 Fleet Street London EC4. Macqueen-Pope’s article without date or place but contemporaneous. From the Macqueen-Pope papers. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The subject of MP’s article is the press agent and publicist Guido Orlando who came to the United States from Italy with his family in 1917. MP may have come into contact with Orlando in his own position as press agent for Drury Lane and other theatres. He was most active in Hollywood from the 1930s to 1960s. His papers are in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Margaret Herrick Library. He also has an uncredited part in Godard’s 1960 ‘Nouvelle Vague’ classic ‘À bout de souffle’ ‘Breathless’. ONE: Sidney Gordon to MP. TLS 28 December 1950. 1p 8vo. In good condition lightly aged and creased with slight rust spotting from paperclip. As the editor Greville Poke is away from the office he has ‘read the article carefully and I really do not think that he would consider it is suitable for Everybody’s. As you may have noticed it alludes to various scandals incidentally the latest and obvious “tie-up†for the article is now dead as far as public interest is concerned and generally is not quite in line with what we want for this paper. My opinion is strengthened by the fact that we were submitted an article on Orlando some months ago and it was turned down because of a certain flashiness.’ He ends by conveying a message from Poke on another matter. TWO: Typed article titled ‘“Enfant Terrible†of Public Relations’. 17pp 4to each page on a separate page of cartridge paper. Double spaced with title on an eighteenth leaf. In good condition lightly aged apart from a hole in the final leaf resulting in loss of five or six words from the final paragraph. MP is not named as the author but since he is submitting the piece it is presumed that he is. Begins: ‘The grim summer of 1950 would have been even more of a nightmare for millions of newspaper readers if front pages burdened with battles and casualty reports had not been brightened by a royal romance between a king and a sixteen-year-old American schoolgirl. / The king Egypt’s fabulous Farouk apparently was spending a good deal of his time chasing Little Mimi Medart from St. Louis Missouri through Europe’s most plush-lined playgrounds. From Deauville and Biarritz the swankiest of France’s watering spots on the Atlantic Coast to San Sebastian in Spain the king trundled along in Mimi’s wake dragging the royal entourage behind him. / On both sides of the Atlantic the king and the commoner became front-page news. Only Farouk’s announcement of his engagement to Narriman Sadek ended the suspense. When it came Mimi’s mother breathed a sigh loud enough to be heard round the world and exclaimed to newsmen: / “Thank God! Now my daughter can go back and finish her studies in peace.†/ All of this it should be explained is one man’s idea of how to sell hamburgers in St. Louis. It sounded like a fairly far-fetched method until you realize that the man is Guido Orlando the gift of the American public relations profession to Europe.’ The article finishes with the Farouk business after the first five pages. There follows a description of Orlando’s appearance and background before an account of his other activities with reference to ‘Don Jaime the Duke of Segovia’ ‘Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York’ and ‘the Maharajah of Kapurthala’.

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

In good condition lightly aged with strip of tape from mount adhering at edge of blank second leaf and two folds for postage. Addressed to ‘Dear Harley’ and signed ‘C Mathews.’ He begins by thanking him for his ‘kind enquiries’ and with regard to his son the actor Charles James Mathews writes that ‘Our dear good Charles thank God! is recovered and writes in excellent spirits from Florence. His disorder has been small pox! So much for vaccination! for of all the victims I have ever witnessed to that system he was the greatest - as his face was covered with frightful blotches for two years after inoculation.’ He claims that the ‘English Physician’ who attended the boy ‘hand no hesitation from the first in pronouncing it to be Small Pox’ but that ‘this was concealed from us’. ‘He accounts rationally for 3 weeks of silence - namely that he was blind. “The first reason will do.â€â€™ He has had ‘irksome work to play comforter to an almost broken hearted mother - and six nights per week to mimic gladness when the heart was sad’. He ends with renewed thanks for the ‘kind note which my wife equally appreciates’. ‘Ivy Cottage [Kentish Town] / Novr 25 - /28 [1828]’. unknown
2284818 January 1830. 'Theatre Royal Adelphi' London. 3pp 4to. Bifolium. In fair condition aged and worn with closed tears and thin vertical strip of paper on reverse of second leaf which carries a seal in black wax and Yates's address to 'T. P. Cooke Esqre. 28 Manchester Street Manchester Square'. An interesting letter regarding a Victorian stage dispute. In an understated style Yates makes a serious accusation: Cooke has broken his word over the manuscript of Fitzball's play 'The Red Rover' Yates had produced the piece with himself in the title role in 1828 and would do so again in 1831. The subtext is that by such an action Cooke is not a gentleman. It begins: 'Sir. Since you have done me the honor to address me by Letter I conceive it incumbent upon me to return you a written answer. The M S. of the Red Rover Mr Mathews & my property I allowed you to have copied upon an express understanding & pledge that you were to make use of it in the Edinboro Theatre only. Upon your refusal to comply with the terms of your Engagement here you thought proper to make use of the copy I permitted you to take of our M. S. with an additional act compiled by yourself at the Surrey Theatre - which I consider to be a positive breach of your word.' He continues in the same tone stating that he has learnt that Cooke has 'paid Mr Grove our Prompter a Guinea for making the Copy' and that Cooke is also claiming the first two acts as his property. As 'possessor of the Copyright' Yates can only return the manuscript with a 'veto that they shall only be made use of in Edinburgh' but as Cooke has 'already considered his promise as not binding' Yates does not expect him to 'pay any attention'. 18 January 1830.

Written in felt-tip pen and difficult to decipher in places as for example the Paris address and name of recipient. Begins: 'Surprise surprise dear it is no longer true that I have not answered a single letter. Dear Nadia was so popular a person that I am still struggling with an Everest of condolences and this far happier event has given me a momentary pause in my labours'. While admitting to being a 'lousy correspondent' he expresses great pleasure in writing to the recipient 'since you occupied a very special place in Nadia's heart and in my admiration'. He does not feel his writing is 'terribly coherent since I incline towards shyness and what the French call “Pudeurâ€'. He would like to renew their acquaintance and will make contact again on his next visit to Paris. Paris. 23 June 1975. unknown
