24585Undated but shortly after the death of Ivor Novello on 6 March 1951. BBC Radio London. From the Macqueen-Pope papers. His entry in the Oxford DNB describes how in the 1950s he was ‘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 passionately’. The present item relates to the theatre with which he was most closely connected serving for more than two decades 1935-1956 as press agent there and even acting as its Air Raid Warden during the Second World War. His book on the place had appeared in 1945. 4pp 4to. On four leaves of discoloured and heavily-creased cartridge paper. At top left of first page: ‘2nd Broadcast’. Title: ‘Theatre Songs and Stories / by / W. Macqueen-Pope / No. 2. Theatre Royal Drury Lane. / Signature Tune ‘Ma Belle’. Traces the history of music at the theatre from its foundation in 1663 with reference to Nell Gwynne and Pepys Garrick’s ‘Heart of Oak’ and Arne’s ‘Rule Britannia’ to Ivor Novello whose ‘recent tragic death saddened the whole country’. MP who would produce a biography of his friend Novello at the end of 1951 adds in the final paragraph: ‘And indeed Ivor Novello’s life who wrote and composed that song did indeed belong to us. He dedicated it to the public and to the Theatre - and he loved and revered no Theatre more than Drury Lane for which he did such yeoman service. He has gone but Drury Lane goes on - musically too. “Oklahoma†broke every record it ever made and “Carousel†still runs gaily after a whole year of service.’ Undated, but shortly after the death of Ivor Novello on 6 March 1951.

1827AQ27774Wakefield: Hurst Printer 1827. Single leaf broadside. A trifle shaved at foot stab-stitch holes to one margin. An apparently unrecorded playbill advertising a performance of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 1751-1816 perennially popular comedy The Rivals 'by the desire' of the Gentleman's Book Club of Wakefield West Yorkshire. The Rivals premiered at Covent Garden on 17th January 1775. It was universally vilified for its length bawdiness and the poor performance of actor John Lee 1725-1781 in the role of Sir Lucius O'Trigger. Sheridan withdrew the play immediately and over the course of ten days rewrote it extensively. The play reopened on 28th January with a more capable actor in the role of the comic Irishman to significant acclaim and has remained a standard of English theatre ever since. .
