2391519 April 1951. On the green letterhead ‘The Mark of a Good Production’ of ‘ALWYN D. FOX PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT’ 38 Sutherland Street London SW1. See Michael Caine’s affectionate account of Fox in ‘The Elephant to Hollywood’ 2010 from which the anecdote at the end of this entry is taken. 1p 4to. Addressed to ‘Dear Mr. Hindin’ signed ‘Alwyn Fox’ and headed ‘Pantomime - “Dameâ€.’ While the twenty lines of text are clear and complete the item is not in the best of condition on aged and creased on discoloured paper with closed tears to edges. The letter begins: ‘I am at present free for Dame for coming season pants. and would be glad to negotiate with you. You contacted me last season but I had just fixed if you recall.’ He explains that the previous year he ‘did “Riding Hood†for Barrie Baldrick at New Cross Empire’ and gives details of four similar engagements in recent years including ‘ “Cinders Emp. Middlebro’ - Jimmie James’. He has a ‘very complete and elaborate wardrobe for any subject and all own props’ and ‘Can produce/manage if required. Terms £25.’ He is enclosing ‘last years folder and some photos’ not present. After becoming a movie star Caine lost touch with Fox ‘although years later when I was in Beverly Hills I got a letter from a social worker in Hammersmith London. He said he had an old man called Alwyn D. Fox lying destitute in one of his wards. Mr Fox he said was claiming he had discovered Michael Caine. In all likelihood it was fantasy but if there was any truth in it would I mind writing Mr Fox a letter and perhaps sending a small amount of money to make his last few weeks a bit easier I wrote at once to confirm Alwyn’s story and enclosed a cheque for five thousand dollars. Two weeks later I had another letter from the social worker returning the cheque. Alwyn had been delighted to get my letter he wrote and had spent the day he received it showing it to everyone on the ward. He had died later that night.’ 19 April 1951.

1863100728<p>Boston F.A. Searle Printer 1863 1863. Very good. - A 10-1/8 inch high by 5-3/8 inch wide broadsheet playbill for the Boston performance of the "French Spy or - The Fall of Algiers" starring Isabella Cubas. The credits with her name are boldly printed on the top third of the sheet followed by an overlay boldly titled with the name of the play "The French Spy" printed on 2-3/8 inch high by 5-3/8 inch wide sheet followed by a list of the cast and concluding with the opening play "To commence with the Laughable Farce entitled Somebody Else!" This overlay is tipped over the title of another performance by Isabella Cubas "Queen of Pantomimists and Unrivaled Danseuse" in her "Third Appearance in the Unparalleled Representation of Protean Character supported by the company and auxiliaries. New Scenery and Appointments! New Dances Marches &c." Another overlay listing the prices of admission printed on 1-1/2 inch high by 5-3/8 inch wide paper is tipped over the title of the farce. The playbill is mounted onto heavier 10-5/8 inch high by 7-1/8 inch wide cream stock. There is some minor darkening and soiling.

1799AQ25369s.i.: s.n. 1799. Single leaf handbill printed on one side only. A trifle browned manuscript price '£88-8-6' to verso presumably the evening's box office take An apparently unrecorded Regency playbill advertising a performance of Thomas Morton's 1764-1838 popular comedy The Way to Get Married to which was added an original pantomime entitled Harlequin Sailor: Or The flight from Africa which boasted the intriguing prospect of 'The Clown's Invitation or the Grand Cock Fight' as well as the perilous spectacle of 'Harlequin's surprising leap from the gallery to the stage and through a Hoghead of Fire'. According to a statement at the foot of the playbill tickets were available from Messrs. Merritt and Wright among others suggesting - via comparison with contemporary extant advertisements - that the entertainments were staged at the Theatre Royal Liverpool. This is further attested to by the presence of Mr. Bradbury in the lead role of the Harlequin likely cabinet maker turned clown Robert Bradbury d. 1831 who made his debût at the theatre. Not in ESTC. Dimensions 160 x 230 mm. [s.n.] unknown
