Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde 16 October 1854 - 30 November 1900 was an Irish playwright novelist essayist and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is remembered for his epigrams his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and his plays. As a spokesman for aestheticism he tried his hand at various literary activities: he published a book of poems lectured in the United States and Canada on the new "English Renaissance in Art" and then returned to London where he worked prolifically as a journalist. Known for his biting wit flamboyant dress and glittering conversation Wilde became one of the best-known personalities of his day. At the turn of the 1890s he refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays and incorporated themes of decadence duplicity and beauty into his only novel The Picture of Dorian Gray 1890. Wilde's huge popularity as a playwright began with his production of Lady Windermere's Fan his recherché attitude and personal aesthetics reflected in his writing. Lady Windermere's Fan A Play About a Good Woman is a four-act comedy by Oscar Wilde first produced on Saturday 20 February 1892 at the St. James's Theatre in London. The story concerns Lady Windermere who suspects that her husband is having an affair with another woman.

It is then revealed Mrs. Erlynne is Lady Windermere's mother who abandoned her family twenty years before the time the play is set.

1973414 Hill Street Berkeley Square London . 'Sunday' 1889 . 4pp. 16mo. In good condition lightly aged and worn. Achurch's entry in the Oxford DNB explains the context: 'In 1889 when she was still only twenty-three she undertook the management of the Novelty Theatre London where on 7 June she appeared as Nora in the first English production of Ibsen's A Doll's House. This was a turning point both in her career and in English critical appreciation of Ibsen.' The letter begins: 'Dear Madam Will you forgive me for writing to you but I should so like to tell you of the intense pleasure you have given my husband & me in “A Doll's House.†We had the pleasure of seeing you in the “Red Lamp†in 1887 & since then have been in India.' On their return home the Hendersons 'made inquiries & to our joy found you were to be in town'. She continues expressing 'the very great pleasure you have given us. I don't expect you can realise what intense enjoyment you give other people'. The Hendersons 'went on the second night & then last week took three friends who enjoyed it as much as we do'. She hopes that 'in a very short time' Achurch 'will have attained the world wide fame which such acting so thoroughly deserves'. She has 'never seen any actress who gratifies my ideal of acting as you do'. 14 Hill Street, Berkeley Square [ London ]. 'Sunday' [ 1889 ]. unknown
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’.
