An apparently unrecorded playbill advertising performances at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane of William Leman Rede's 1803-1847 two-act farce His First Champagne and Edward L. Blanchard's 1820-1889 comic pantomime Little Jack Horner or Harlequin A. B. C. and the Enchanted Regions of Nursery Rhymes! The bill rather verbosely described the pantomime as 'Allegorical Beautiful Comical Diverting Educational Fanciful Gorgeous Hyperbolical Intellectual Jovial Keen Laughable Merry Novel Original Peculiar Quizzical Romantic Splendid Transcendent Unobjectionable Volatile Waggish Extravagant Youthful and Zigzaggy'. In the pantomime an entreaty to literacy and knowledge Intelligence sends Proverb to help Jack Horner with his studies Jack fends off Ignorance with the Sword of Perseverance and sent to a 'Fairy Aquarium' with a coral palace to see what can be achieved by Imagination. The spectacular visual scenery provided by William Beverley in particular the 'Fairy Aquarium' was universally praised; indeed even the The Times who dismissed Blanchard's efforts stating that 'People do not expect to be edified and instructed at a pantomime' were effusive in their praise: 'As its wonders gradually revealed themselves and the circumambient air no less than terra firma became peopled with floating nymphs and soaring fairies the applause was vociferous and continuous and a summons first for Mr E. T. Smith the manager and next for Mr Beverley the artist presented the climax of excitement'. . Dimensions 500 x 510 mm. Printed by J. W. Peel unknown

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 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€™. 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: â€˜2nd Broadcastâ€™. Title: â€˜Theatre Songs and Stories / by / W. Macqueen-Pope / No. 2. Theatre Royal Drury Lane. / Signature Tune â€˜Ma Belleâ€™. Traces the history of music at the theatre from its foundation in 1663 with reference to Nell Gwynne and Pepys Garrickâ€™s â€˜Heart of Oakâ€™ and Arneâ€™s â€˜Rule Britanniaâ€™ to Ivor Novello whose â€˜recent tragic death saddened the whole countryâ€™. MP who would produce a biography of his friend Novello at the end of 1951 adds in the final paragraph: â€˜And indeed Ivor Novelloâ€™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. â€œOklahomaâ€ broke every record it ever made and â€œCarouselâ€ still runs gaily after a whole year of service.â€™ Undated, but shortly after the death of Ivor Novello on 6 March 1951.
