1845DEMO016703ILondon: Theatre Royal Drury Lane Nov. 8 1845. First edition. 20x10in 47cm. Very Good. Central horizontal fold minor marginal chipping. <br/><br/>Announces two ballets starring Adele Dumilatre and Lucien Petipa. Adele Dumilatre became a premier danseuse after she was the "woman who first danced Myrtha Queen of the Wilis the icy counterpart to the forgiving warm and full-blooded Giselle". Dumilatre was "known for her chaste elegance onstage". As a successful French-born ballerina of the second tier she was a rarity. She performed at Drury Lane in 1844-45 and at La Scala in 1946. After her professional retirement in 1848 she became the Countess Drake del Castillo. Provenance: From the Vernon Schwartz collection. His note on the verso says it was a gift from Kay Ballard. Ballard played Lola in "Sheba" the first musical adaptation of William Inge's play "Come Back Little Sheba" which was in 1974 at Chicago's Drury Lane Theater where Schwartz was the Resident Director. Finally J. P. Harley was the Stage Manager in 1845 at Drury Lane. Probably he is the same Harley who was "the popular comic actor who had the best roles in Dickens's first three plays" and for whom he wrote the lead role of Tom Grig in his play "The Lamplighter".

19112289Moscow: A.A. Gorozhankin and K.A. Fisher 1911-12. <br /><br />Twenty-six postcards each 5 1/2 x 3 3/8 inches 138 x 84 mm featuring black-and-white photos of scenes from Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and text descriptions in Russian. <br /><br />The Cherry Orchard opened at the Moscow Art Theatre on January 17 1904 in a production directed by Konstantin Stanislavsky just six months before the death of Chekhov. In the play a family is forced to sell their estate at auction to pay their debts. The buyer Lopakhin plans to cut down the family's beloved cherry orchard so he can build cottages on the estate. <br /><br />These postcards feature cast members from early productions: Olga Knipper as Madame Ranevskaya the estate owner Maria Lilina as Anya her daughter Margarita Savitskaya as Varya foster daughter Stanislavsky himself as Gaev Ranevskaya's brother Leonid Leonidov as Lopakhin Vladimir Gribunin as Simeonov-Pishchik a landowner Elena Muratova as Charoltta Ivanovna a governess Alexander Artyom as Firs an elderly valet Vasily Kachalov as Trofimov a student and Ivan Moskvin as Yephikhov a bookkeeper. <br /><br />Olga Knipper was the wife of Chekhov Maria Lilina was the wife of Stanislavsky and Ivan Moskvin became director of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1943. All three were among the 39 original members of the troupe when Stanislavsky founded it in 1898 with Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. <br /><br />Chekhov conceived The Cherry Orchard as a comedy but Stanislavsky turned it into a tragedy angering Chekhov. "My play opened yesterday so my mood is none too good" Chekhov wrote in a letter to author and dramatist Ivan Leontyev known as Shcheglov quoted in Laurence Senelick Anton Chekhov's Selected Plays. New York: W.W. Norton 2005 page 456. And in late March 1904 writing from Yalta Chekhov declared in a letter to his wife Olga Knipper the star of the play: "One thing I can say: Stanislavsky has butchered the play for me." Senelick page 457. <br /><br />While Chekhov may not have liked the play the public certainly did. Indeed in a note on the verso of one card an anonymous writer says translating: "we have just got back from the Art Theatre where we saw The Cherry Orchard. There are no words to tell how wonderful it was." The note appears on a card showing Stanislavsky and his wife Maria Lilina. <br /><br />A.A. Gorozhankin published two of the cards in 1911. The famous Moscow photographer Karl Fisher issued all the others. Two of them not identified as the Moscow Art Theatre production are dated 1912. <br /><br />A fascinating set of postcards depicting scenes from one of the theatre world's most acclaimed plays. <br /><br />CONDITION: Inscription in ink to the verso of one card stains or soiling to many cards lower corner of one card of Olga Knipper damaged with slight loss of text; old bookseller's stamp to the verso of half a dozen cards; all a bit rubbed or edge-worn. About Good overall. <br /> A.A. Gorozhankin and K.A. Fisher

18671710London: Joseph Lilly. Very Good with No dust jacket as issued. 1867. 1st Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Original publisher's brown cloth gilt lettering on spine blind-stamped decorative front and rear panels brown endpapers fore and bottom edges deckle. Accompanied with an Introduction and Illustrative Notes. Four additional items are included with the book: 1 An autograph letter signed written on both sides of a sheet from the publisher Joseph Lilly dated August 21 1867 and sent from Covent Garden explaining how he acquired the rights to the current book as follows: "Dear Sir I gave L750 for the folio volume of the Old Ballads & Broadsides at the sale of the library of George Daniel Esq at "Sotheby's" Auction Rooms in July 1864. I do not know the date of Mr. Daniel's birth. He was about 75 years old at the time of his death. I think he was born in Newgate or . I think his father or mother's family was in the worsted trade. If I can get a portrait of him I will send it to you. Yours truly signed Joseph Lilly." 2 Another note is tipped-in to the front endpaper in a different hand as follows: "George Daniels Ballads With autograph note of Mr. Lilly the publisher stating that he gave upwards of L700 for the original. sic and Scarce portrait short Memoir of Mr. Daniel __ - Only a comparative few copies printed." 3 Also laid-in is the portrait of George Daniel referred to in Mr. Lilly's note and 4 a short somewhat poetic memoir of him curiously captioned "Memoir of D._ _G." The note on the endpaper describes the portrait and memoir as scarce as there were only a few copies printed. NB: A large number of the 19th Century acting editions are promoted as containing "remarks by D. _ _G" i.e. George Daniel. These remarks are usually two to three pages in length and contain relatively non-critical comments about the play and its production. These prefaces consist primarily of a synopsis of the play but occasionally they contain interesting anecdotes that shed some light on both the cultural and theatrical landscape of his time. Fortunately in a few of the scripts the critic's nom de plume is forgotten and he is identified as George Daniel 1789-1864. He was a descendant of a Huguenot family that settled in England in the 17th century. Even as a young man he was a prolific writer mostly of poetry but at the age of 18 he completed Dick Distich a novel in three volumes. Yet it would be as a poet that Daniel was to gain his first taste of pseudonymous fame as "P___P___ Poet Laureat." P___ P___ Poet Laureat's first poem was a "sprightly squib in verse" entitled "R_y_l Stripes; or a Kick from Yar_th to Wa_s; with the particulars of an Expedition to Oat_ds and the Sprained Ancle." It was an account of the horse-whipping given to the prince regent by Lord Yarmouth for "making improper advances" to his mother-in-law. The poem was immediately and simultaneously suppressed and highly popular. Daniel's original manuscript is kept in the British Museum. Broadly satirical pieces such as the poem described above brought Daniel into the company of "a number of literary friends" most notably Charles Lamb and Robert Bloomfield. At the same time his exposure to the theatrical milieu of London began to grow and he befriended some of the greatest actors of the time. The value that the actor John Kemble placed on his friendship was demostrated by a "white satin" bill of fare the actor presented to Daniel in the green-room at Covent Garden. This occurred on the night of Kemble's final performance there on June 23 1817. This memento is also the property of the British Museum. In 1818 Daniel made his debut as a playwright with a piece entitiled "Doctor Bolus." It was successfully presented at the English Opera House and at the Lyceum. He followed that one year later with "The Disagreeable Surprise" and in 1833 with "Sworn at Highgate." Yet it seems that George Daniel's greatest contribution to the arts of 19th century London is in neither his poetry or his plays but rather as an editor and book collector. Between 1823 and 1831 thirty-nine volumes of "British Theatre with Remarks Biographical and Critical printed from the Acting Copies as performed at the Theatres Royal London" were published by John Cumberland and edited by George Daniel. Fourteen more volumes were added by 1832. Later he also edited similar publications of acting editions for T.H.Lacy and Davison. The University of Washington a collection of many acting editions with remarks by Daniel from a variety of publishers. Bates refers to Daniel as a book collector one whose estate brought great wealth to his descendants when it was sold. His collection included a first folio of Shakespeare David Garrick's cane a cassolette or carved casket made out of the mulberry-tree from Shakespeare's garden as well as many other books and artifacts from the Elizabethan age. For ten days starting on July 24 1864 his entire collection was sold at auction. His heirs received 15865 pounds and 12 shillings. One of his greatest friends it seems was the artist Robert Cruikshank with whom he collaborated on many of the acting editions as well as on other publications. Daniel's last work was called "Love's Last Labour Not Lost" which contained recollections of both Charles Lamb and Cruikshank. " Dennis Barnett University of Washington.
