245488 December 1948; on his letterhead 62 Langdale Gardens Hove Sussex. From the Macqueen-Pope papers. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp 4to. Sixty lines of text. Aged and worn but entirely legible. Signed â€˜H. F. Maltbyâ€™ and addressed to â€˜My dear Popeâ€™. Most of the letter concerns the tomb of â€˜Maggotyâ€™ Johnson: â€˜I first met that interesting old gentleman over forty years ago when I was playing at the Theatre Royal Macclesfield with the late Mrs Bandman-Palmer. It was my landlady who advised me to visit the tomb as one of the objects of interest in the place. The tomb was then covered by a large stone on which was engraved all particulars of his death . It then burst out into a very lengthy epitaph in doggerelâ€™. He gives a facetious couplet from this with the carved response of â€˜the local vicarâ€™. â€˜I visited the grave again some twenty years later: but alas! the iconoclasts the vandals had been there with their cursed pocket knives and had carved their damned initials all over it - God rot hem! - and both stones were well night illegible.â€™ He mentions a production of â€˜Madame Butterflyâ€™ at the Duke of Yorkâ€™s â€˜where it was put on as an afterpiece to Jeromes flop â€œMiss Hobbsâ€ and kept that running for months and months after its alloted span Jerome drawing his fees all the time though the audiences were careful not to get to the theatre till â€œMiss Hobbsâ€ had finished. The cast of â€œButterflyâ€ was the same as â€œHobbsâ€ - Evelyn Millward Allen Aynesworth Herbert Wareing Cosmo Stuart Gordon Lennox it was there Pucchini canâ€™t spell his name saw it and decided to â€œoperizeâ€ it. Also didnâ€™t â€œCharleyâ€™s Auntâ€ enjoy most of itâ€™s very long run at The Globe Theatre It was where I saw it. I think it moved there from the Royalty.â€™ 8 December 1948; on his letterhead, 62 Langdale Gardens, Hove, Sussex. unknown
