19552089Tempo Playhouse Playbill Stein Gertrude and Jean Genet. Julie Bovasso and Cletus L. Gundy Present a Tempo Playhouse Production: Gertrude Stein's "The 13th of March": Selections From the First Reader and Jean Genet's "The Maids." New York: Tempo Playhouse 1955. Octavo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches; 215 x 140 mm 8 pages in stapled wrappers. A rare playbill for the first plays presented by Julie Bovasso's Tempo Playhouse in New York: Gertrude Stein's "The 13th of March: Selections From the First Reader" and Jean Genet's "The Maids." In fact this was the first production of "The Maids" in the United States. Both plays were directed by Strowan Robertson with sets and costumes by Lester Hackett. The 24-year-old Bovasso founded the theatre with $250 from the sale of a painting by her husband George Ortman. She rented an apartment at 4 St. Mark's Place in the East Village and built a small stage and a box office. See Stephen J. Bottoms "Playing Underground: A Critical History of the 1960s Off-Off-Broadway Movement" pages 37-38. The playbill doesn't give the opening date but a small item in The New York Times of March 10 1955 states the opening would take place on Saturday March 12. The Times also placed the location of the opening at Steyer Hall Playhouse 184 Eldridge Street which must have been a temporary venue. Bovasso played the role of Claire in "The Maids" which ran until mid-July 1955. The following year the Village Voice initiated the Obie Awards for Off-Broadway. Bovasso won the first Obie for Best Actress and Tempo Playhouse received a special citation that year. Bovasso's co-stars in "The Maids" were Joyce Henry as Solange and Fran Malis as Madame. Being the versatile actress that she was Bovasso also apparently played Solange at times. For the Stein production -- which was actually two plays: "In a Garden" and "Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters" -- the actors were Herbert King Philip Stanley Pitts Kit Raccoon Nancy Ponder Lucy Willow Anne Edwards Helen and Marcia Pavia Ellen. Just like playbills for the Living Theatre the Tempo playbill lists paintings and sculptures for sale at the theatre. Painters include Joan Mitchell Perle Fine Lois Dodd Angelo Ippolito Michael Goldberg Margaret Barlett George Ortman and Miles Forst and the sculptors Marisol Escobar and William King. This playbill is rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings although a separate search turns up a copy at the University of Florida. RARE. CONDITION: Some creases and folds but clean and unmarked. A Very Good or better copy. Tempo Playhouse books

Christopher Fry (1907-2005), playwright, a leading exponent of verse drama [Christopher Hassall [Christopher Vernon Hassall] (19Biblio.com

Christopher Fry discusses Christopher Hassall. Two-page Typescript with extensive Autograph Emendations by Fry of a BBC radio 'programme' by Fry about Christopher Hassall with a separate Typescript poem by Hassall 'Pilgrim's Way'.

22904No place or date but some time after Hassall's death in 1963 and probably written from Fry's house The Toft. 3pp 4to each page on a separate leaf. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Folded once. There is no indication that either item was published nor even that the poem is connected to the 'programme'. If unpublished the poem may have found its way into Fry's papers from Hassall's. The 'programme' - with no title or heading - is two pages long with slight damage from a small staple to corners of both leaves and complete being divided into six numbered sections. Section 1 as first typed begins: After the first two pieces on the programme we are taking the poems more or less chronologically so that we can follow the way that Christopher Hassall went in the search which every poet must take for the voice which would say what he wanted to say.' Fry has cut this in autograph to: 'After the first two pieces on the programme the poems follow more or less chronologically.' He praises the 'furious innocence of concentration' of Hassall's early poem 'The Arrow' 'like a child staring: and with it never very far away the ironic comment of humour.' He describes how Hassall's takes time 'to master his individual voice but when it came it was unmistakable'. Recurring themes in Hassall's work are his Christian faith and love of music. He quotes 'some lines in a poem remembering his boyhood days at a choir school in Tenbury Wells'. He turns to Hassall's love of the theatre his career as an actor on leaving Oxford and writing of 'popular lyrics for Ivor Novello's musicals at Drury Lane'. At this point he adds in autograph: 'And later the libretti for operas: the first of all was perhaps the Troilus and Cressida for William Walton.' At the end of the first section Fry announces two readings from Hassall showing his 'great flair for writing pieces for special occasions'. In the second section he discusses Hassall's 1939 Canterbury Festival play 'Christ's Comet' 'which was performed in the Cathedral chapter-house'. Part 3 announces the beginning of 'this second part of the programme' with Fry adding an autograph note about 'a cyle of 7 lyrics': 'They are all about ways of getting about and with them we are in the atmosphere of the delightful poems for children which were to come later.' The fourth section points out 'a change in manner in some of the poems we are going to read now from the Red Leaf - a change partly brought about perhaps by Hassall's admiration for the poetry of D. H. Lawrence'. The fifth section names humorous and children's poems to be recited. The last section announces the eight sonnets from his posthumous collection 'Bell Harry' which end of the programme with Fry explaining the Canterbury context with reference to the 'old Manor House near Canterbury' in which Hassall ended his days. Accompanying the 'programme' on a leaf of thicker paper is the typescript of an unattributed poem titled 'Pilgrim's Way' 'Pilgrims to the golden shrine Under Canterbury towers Blessed by your wayfaring Through the early English flowers.' divided into two eight-line stanzas each with the refrain: 'Every day a Holy day Riding over Pilgrim's Way.' The poem is presumably by Hassall from the window of whose manor house could be seen the celebrated road to Canterbury. A pencil note at the head of the page states that the three leaves were found in Hassall's collection 'The Red Leaf'. No place or date, but some time after Hassall's death in 1963, and probably written from Fry's house, The Toft. unknown

Dutton Cook [Edward Dutton Cook] (1829-1883), author, journalist, artist, engraver, drama critic of the Pall Mall Gazette [Hood'Biblio.com

â€˜The last production of the late Mr. Dutton Cookâ€™. Corrected Autograph Manuscript of Edward Dutton Cookâ€™s last story â€˜ â€œColumbines all of a Rowâ€ â€™ completed within days of his death and published in 'Hood's Comic Annual'. Signed: â€˜Dutton Cookâ€™.

23784Undated but written in 1883. Addressed in autograph at head: â€˜Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.Wâ€™. For information on Cook see his biography in the Oxford DNB which points out that the subtlety of his later fiction was lost on his contemporaries being written in a style that â€˜was not sufficiently sensationalâ€™ for the period. The present item is the complete text of the last thing Cook ever wrote: a story which appeared in the weeks following his death in Hoodâ€™s Comic Annual for 1884 London 1883. On 3 November 1883 the â€˜Booksellerâ€™ quoted the review of the volume in the magazine â€˜Funâ€™: â€˜a melancholy interest attaches to the article â€œColumbines all of a Rowâ€ from the fact that it was the last production of the late Mr. Dutton Cook having been completed only a few days before his deathâ€™. The Graphic praised the storyâ€™s â€˜charming intermingling of pathos and humourâ€™. 12pp landscape 12mo. The holograph is written in a close stylized hand in purple ink on twelve 11.5 x 18 cm leaves attached with a brass stud. In good condition lightly aged. Addressed in autograph at top-right of first page: â€˜Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.Wâ€™ and signed at end â€˜Dutton Cookâ€™. With autograph emendations throughout but evidently a final draft: the tenth and eleventh leaves have both been divided into two parts with neat vertical cutting and reunited on the reverse with paper labels with the section created by this division indicated by numbering in another hand in pencil in the margins. The story is divided by Cook into nine parts with roman numerals. Undated, but written in 1883. Addressed in autograph at head: ‘Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.W’. unknown
