1940182459Manila: 1940s. A graphic album showing fighting in the Philippines the Marshall Islands Papua New Guinea Guam the Solomon Islands and Palau. The compiler chose to include violent images displaying the brutality of the campaign. The album opens with portrait shots of individual Marines or groups along with photographs of American encampments and ships. The scenes then turn more distressing with images of dead locals including children lying on the beach or next to tanks. The photographs were taken across the Pacific theatre: one shows an American soldier holding a flame-thrower on Kwajalein Atoll another shows a beach landing at Luzon and a third shows a Marine posing next to a sign in Bougainville. Most were taken in the final years of the conflict including at Guadalcanal and Peleliu. There are also shots of the end of the war one showing a Japanese soldier surrendering with a white flag and another showing Japanese prisoners of war in a camp in Guam. The final photograph is the most famous "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" showing six Marines raising the US flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. This photograph won the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Photography. The majority of the photographs are commercial with a few opening portrait shots of the unidentified compiler. Oblong folio 286 x 390 mm. With 55 gelatin silver photographs one lacking approximately 90 x 130 mm landscape or portrait corner-mounted with tape recto and verso on 7 leaves remainder blank.

264483 November 1835; Victoria i.e. the Victoria Theatre London. See the two men’s entries in the Oxford DNB. 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. Aged and a little worn with short closed tear at head of the first leaf repaired with tape and the second leaf having a discoloration at one edge from tape used in mount. Signed ‘W. T. Moncrieff’. Casting interesting light on the production of melodramas in the ‘Surrey-side’ theatres. In an effort to induce him to collaborate with him on a production at the Victoria Theatre he begins: ‘My dear Cooke / Without wishing to interfere with any arrangement you may have made or may be contemplating to make - there can be no harm in my dropping a hint that the Proprietors here would be most happy to secure your Services at any time on your own terms - if at all within their means’. Such an arrangement would also please Moncrieff ‘as I have the idea of a Drama that I think very likely to prove quite as attractive as ever “My Poll and my Partner Joe†may prove.’ That play by J. T. Haines and with music by Jolly was a great success at the Royal Surrey Theatre in the same year. He ends by asking Cooke to ‘turn this over in hyour mind at your leisure and favor me with a line on the subject’. 3 November 1835; Victoria [i.e. the Victoria Theatre, London]. unknown

21220At head of first page: 'Copy January 16 1894'. A highly interesting letter from a leading Victorian dramatic critic Thomas describes himself in the letter as 'For five & twenty years . theatrical critic of the Daily news & the Graphic' who has 'served under at least thirteen editors' to a leading actor-manager Hare was knighted in 1907 on the subject of alleged editorial pressure on Fleet Street's theatre critics. 4pp 8vo. On four leaves. Aged and worn but with text complete and clear. Thomas has noted on the reverse of the last leaf: 'Letter to Hare about Grundy's Comedy An Old Jew produced at the Garrick Janry 6 1894.' Grundy wrote 'An Old Jew' for Hare who portrayed the main character Julius Sterne. Draft of long letter with numerous minor emendations. He was glad to read Hare's letter despite its 'lingering trace of the languor of the sick room'. 'To me so many years your senior it seems strange indeed to find you speaking of the close of your stage career. I can only say on that head that I hope to live to see you for many more years gathering fresh laurels'. On the subject of Grundy's play he states that he does not believe that 'the journalistic world has any claim to be exempt from the satire or even the extreme caricature which is freely allowed in the case of other classes. Literary cliques & côteries undoubtedly do exist as they existed in the days of Delatouche's Tour de Faveur & Delavigne's Comédiens and Scribe's Camaraderie'. He deplores critics who 'will now fall down & worship certain Scandinavian idols & their crude & offensive methods'. He cannot conceive of 'editors who give instructions to critics to denounce plays contrary to their real opinions'. He can 'only say that I have never met with any such editor. For five & twenty years I have been the theatrical critic of the Daily news & the Graphic & for some years of that time I occupied the same post on The Academy besides writing drama notices occasionally for other journals. Altogether I have served under at least thirteen editors and I can conscientiously affirm that never did any one of these attempt to entice me to speak ill of what I thought or might think a good paly or performance or vice versâ.' After some more observations he concludes: 'Depend upon it the whole thing will be forgotten ere long or remembered only to excite wonder that any sensible journalist of decent standing should have made a fuss about it'. At head of first page: 'Copy | January 16, 1894'. unknown
24171Cover title. Sydney NSW : Publicity Pty. Ltd. 1941. Small quarto 247 x 184 mm original pictorial wrappers light vertical fold staple bound 16 pp with photographic portraits including writer/director Alec Coppel and actors advertisements for local businesses; a good copy. Programme produced for the world premiere on May 10 1941 of the play Mr. Smart Guy written and directed by internationally acclaimed Australian screenwriter novelist and playwright Alec Coppel at the Minerva Theatre Orwell Street in Sydney's King's Cross. Coppel who was born in Melbourne and educated at Wesley College had just returned from England where he had already worked as a writer for theatre radio and film. In Sydney he co-founded Whitehall Productions an adventurous theatre company for which he also wrote and directed plays. After the war Coppel would return to London where he wrote the script for Edward Dmytryk's celebrated film noir Obsession 1949 - based on Coppel's own novel A Man about a Dog. He then moved to Hollywood where his career really took off: he became the first Australian to receive an Academy Award nomination for screenwriting with The Captain's Paradise 1953. But Coppel's most significant achievement - albeit one that is not as well known in Australia as it should be - was to co-write the screenplay for a film that is consistently acknowledged as one of the greatest of all time Hitchcock's Vertigo 1958. 'The time has come for the legitimate theatre in Australia to re-establish itself and Whitehall Productions intends to see that it does exactly this. During the past few years it has been generally thought that the talkies have killed the theatre. This is not so. Talkies hit the public as a novelty and as a novelty built up a tremendous following. Today the legitimate theatre has the opportunity to use the same weapon to fight back. In Australia there is a whole generation of people who have never been to the theatre and to whom legitimate stage production is a novelty. A company that is prepared to show theatre to these people in a modern and attractive form will win the support of this generation. The aim of Whitehall Productions is to establish a permanent theatre in this town which will concern itself purely with the presentation of a continuous series of good modern and commercial plays.' p.1 This highly important Sydney theatre programme associated with Australia's most notable pioneer Hollywood screenwriter is unrecorded in Australian collections. unknown
