W Macqueen-Pope [ Walter James Macqueen-Pope ] (1888-1960), theatre historian:Biblio.com

Walter James Macqueen-Pope theatre historian. Two Typed Drafts of article: 'It Was Top of the Bill The Story of Music Hall.' One draft with autograph emendations. With copy of covering letter to Greville Poke editor of 'Everybody's' magazine.

17437Drafts without place or date. Covering letter to Poke dated 20 January 1951 without place . ONE: The earlier of the two drafts titled 'It Was Top of the Bill The Story of Music Hall. by W. Macqueen-Pope.' 14pp. 4to. Paginated 1-12 with two further pages carrying material to be inserted. With a few autograph emendations including an addition to the ending. Macqueen-Pope writes knowledgeably and with a passion for his theme which is that 'Music Hall reflected public taste even more accurately than did the "legitimate" Theatre because it was created by the people themselves. The basis of the Drama of the Theatre - was religion. The origin of Music Hall was the public house and the Tavern.' Among those discussed are Marie Lloyd Herbert Campbell Dan Leno Harry Champion George Robey. The article begins: 'Music Hall - real Music Hall - is dead. There is something called Variety which appears to flourish today but it bears no more resemblance to true Music Hall than "Othello" bears to "Oklahoma". It takes place on a stage it has a succession of "turns" but there the likeness ends.' TWO: Later version of the two drafts incorporating the emendations in the first. Same title. The ending reads: 'And there in the words of one of the remaining members of that class of real Londoners who made the Music Hall - the type that Chevalier Alec Hurley and Gus Elen showed on the Music Hall stage is the chief reason today why Music Hall is dead. Yet in a few artists it lingers on like its melodies refusing to die whilst there remains sic some individuals with their own style and not just truants from the Radio Studios - and there is still Gracie Fields . . . . she is Music Hall.' THREE: Typed carbon copy of letter to 'Dear Greville' from Macqueen-Pope: 'Here is the story of "Music Hall". It looks a bit long but it is a big subject and I hahve packed it full of stories. It is in a sense an epitome of my book "The Melodies Linger On" recently published by W. H. Allen Ltd - and so is in the news. I dont think anyone has told the real truth about Music Hall before - and why it died.' In a postscript he assures him that 'The bit about the bus conductor is the solemn truth.' Drafts without place or date. Covering letter to Poke dated 20 January 1951 [ without place ]. unknown

W J Macqueen-Pope [Walter James Macqueen-Pope], theatre historian and theatre manager, associated in particular with the TheatreBiblio.com

W. J. Macqueen-Pope theatre historian. 27 items: fifteen Typed Scripts of BBC broadcasts including eleven concerning different London theatres five earlier drafts three sets of music lists and two letters to MP from BBC producer Mary Treadgold.

24274Treadgoldâ€™s two letters from the BBC200 Oxford Street London both dated 1951. Three of MPâ€™s scripts dated from the same year and the rest of the material from around this time. The material collected here is perhaps unique: it is not clear whether any material relating to Macqueen-Popeâ€™s BBC broadcasts has survived elsewhere. It is hard to overestimate the significance of â€˜Popieâ€™ to the history of the London stage. Other items from among his papers offered seperately attest to the regard in which he was held by both actors and those behind the scenes as the foremost chronicler of a cherished era that was quickly passing into oblivion. His entry in the Oxford DNB describes how in the 1950s he was â€˜in demand as a lecturer on the theatrical subjects he loved and he appeared often in the same capacity on radio and on television. Ironically he regarded these two forms of public entertainment and television in particular as representing a serious threat to the survival of theatre about which he cared passionatelyâ€™. A total of twenty-seven items; comprising 15 BBC radio scripts by MP with an additional five earlier drafts of some of them together with two TLsS to MP from Mary Treadgold of the BBC Overseas Service two carbons of notes from MP to Treadgold and three typed music lists by MP for the particular broadcasts.
