THINGS TO COME - ORIGINAL FILM SCRIPT & LETTER ARCHIVE - HG WELLS - WILLIAM CAMERON MENZIES, RAYMOND MASSEY, RALPH RICHARDSON HBiblio.com

193417197JLondon: London Films 1934-1936. Present in the archive is the extremely rare privately printed original screenplay written by H.G. Wells for the film Things To Come entitled at this working stage - Whither Mankind Most films scripts of the period are simple mimeographed pieces. Wells went and had his script typeset by a printer and printed like a book in a tiny quantity: â€œThis is the property of Mr. H.G. Wells.PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION ONLY.â€ Bound in plain green wrappers. Laid in is an Autograph Letter Signed from H.G. Wells to the film director of Things To Come William Cameron Menzies in which he tries to take Menzies to account and assert his control over the film: â€œPrivate and Confidential. Oct. 9. 34. Dear Menzies. This is all wrong. Get it in full perspective. This is an HG WELLS film!!!! And your highest and best is needed for the complete realization of MY treatment. Bless you. The very casting of â€˜machines to the design of Mr. Menziesâ€™ will be a casting out. Again bless you H.G.â€ Accompanied by a remarkable detailed pencil quarto size Autograph Letter Signed H.G. Wells written to actor Raymond Massey the lead star of Things To Come. Wells's obsession with exerting his desires are well shown in the letter where Wells takes Massey to task on aspects of his performance in a key scene with Ralph Richardson telling him that it should be re-shot and Wells has drawn 4 pencil sketches showing how he thinks the scene should be filmed. This letter was then given by Massey to director Menzies. Additionally present is a typed carbon copy of a letter to H.G. Wells from actor Ralph Richardson who played the role of The Boss in the film. Apparently Wells was unhappy with Richardson's performance as well and Richardson in the letter suggests it can be improved by reshooting and that Wells should speak to Menzies as director. This carbon was sent on to Menzies to give him a heads up. And there are four original black and white still photographs from the film including a terrific image of H.G. Wells on the set with actors Raymond Massey and Ann Pearl Argyle in their futurist costumes. All the material is in very good to fine condition enclosed in a custom morocco and cloth clamshell box. Things To Come was the first great science fiction picture in the sound film era and its treatment approach and stunning design has influenced generations of motion pictures. London Films hardcover

Henry Handel Richardson the pen name of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson is widely regarded as one of Australia's most important early novelists known for her psychologically nuanced and stylistically refined fiction. Educated in both Australia and Europe Richardson drew heavily on her own life experiences to explore themes of identity exile and the tensions between individual aspiration and social expectation. 'The Fortunes of Richard Mahony' is a landmark work in Australian literature notable for its psychological depth and portrayal of colonial life. Published as a trilogy between 1917 and 1929 the novel chronicles the rise and fall of Richard Mahony an English-born doctor whose pursuit of social status and intellectual fulfillment is gradually undone by mental illness and cultural alienation. Drawing on Richardson’s own family history the narrative presents a compelling critique of the colonial experience exposing the tensions between personal ambition and the harsh realities of life in nineteenth-century Australia.

KELLY, Ned - CROSSLEY, George S, Tony Richardson, & Mick JaggerBiblio.com

Archive of on-set drawings made during production.

19691724461969. Tell 'em I died game An absorbing collection of accomplished portraits and location sketches by the Australian artist George Crossley 1919-1973 executed during the making of Tony Richardson's Ned Kelly 1970 which "appeared at the beginning of what is considered a renaissance in Australian cinema" and at a moment when Kelly was the cynosure of "related constructions of the Australian past and identity" Basu p. 131. The film starred Mick Jagger as the iconic bushranger and he is pictured in two drawings: "Mick Jagger as 'Ned Kelly' addressing the Jury Braidwood Courthouse 27th Aug '69. Ned Kelly Location Rehearsals" and "Mick Jagger in the courtroom Braidwood Ned Kelly location. Aug '66". Approximately 54 drawings are finely executed close up portraits of cast members extras and crew including Jagger's stuntman Bill Peter caught during breaks from filming each meticulously captioned giving the sitter's identity and the location. A group of half a dozen feature members of the folk band the Wild Colonial Boys some of whom appear in the film and are pictured in performance. Kelly's final gun fight is recorded in an action sequence of looser pencil drawings: "Rehearsals for the Ambush of Kelly" "Kelly fights his way out of the cutting emerging from the fog" and finally "Kelly overcome with loss of blood weakens and collapses". A single pencil drawing depicts Kelly's famous bulletproof armour. Richardson himself makes an appearance in "Kelly's collapse when wounded and identification - by Inspector Nicholson - Glenrowan location. Tony Richardson directing". Crossley was born in Perth and studied at the Melbourne National Gallery School under the renowned portraitist William Dargie. Afterwards he worked as a television artist for the BBC in London. He held exhibitions in Europe the Middle East and Australia. His work is represented in a number of Australian institutions. Ned Kelly was filmed entirely in Australia largely around Braidwood New South Wales. The supporting cast of mainly Australians actors included Frank Thring as the colonial judge Sir Redmond Barry who sentenced Kelly to hang. Thring remains best known for his unforgettable high camp performances in a string of Hollywood blockbusters: Ben-Hur King of Kings and El Cid. Ian McKellen was originally considered for the role of Kelly but the studio wanted a bankable "big personality" and it was offered to Mick Jagger. The film "garnered a lot of attention for the bushranger both at home and abroad as well as causing a fracas for having as lead and director not only non-Australians but Britons Although none of the producers of Kelly products from this period was directly associated with the New Left it is clear that through Kelly they were intervening in related constructions of the Australian past and identity. They situated their past firmly within the structural inequalities necessitated by colonialism at a time when British colonies in Africa and the Caribbean were rapidly gaining independence and affirmed a national identity not only separate from 'Britishness' but in opposition to it" Basu p. 122-25. "Ned Kelly was transformed with the help of the telegraph wire and the early mass media from a regional folk hero into a romanticised media celebrity He has progressed from outlaw to national hero. to international icon. The still-enigmatic slightly saturnine and ever-ambivalent bushranger is the undisputed if not universally admired national symbol of Australia" Seal pp. 99-100. As the Australian Dictionary of Biography concludes "The legend still persists and seemingly has a compelling quality that appeals to something deeply rooted in the character of the 'average' Australian". Together 99 drawings most of them signed by the artist as "G. S. Crossley" the majority executed in black ink on paper some with pencil under drawing and occasional watercolour wash various sizes from 370 x 500 mm to 240 x 310 mm; all laid down on card and with detailed captioning often with a first version jotted down in situ when the drawing were created and a second more formal caption. With a small quantity of research material compiled by a previous owner. Occasional marks but overall in very good condition.

Photo Album: Stinson Flyers - Early Airplane Barnstorming Troupe

1919408155Atlantic City 1919. Softcover. Good. Octavo. Measuring 7" x 9". String-tied decorative paper wrappers. Contains 48 black and white or sepia toned gelatin silver photographs measuring 3.5" x 5.5" with captions. Additionally included is a certificate issued to Richardson and signed by one of Stinson's daredevil pilots attesting to his taking a 33-minute flight with a newspaper article written by Richardson about the flight laid in. The album is good only with considerable edgewear lacking the back cover with near fine photographs. A photo album compiled by William H. Richardson a journalist and amateur historian who published a number of monographs about New Jersey. The photographs document Richardson's arrival at the barnstorming event with his friend W.C. Cobb. The photos show the men in flight jackets and leather helmets as well as Eddie Stinson and his pilots and crew. The album features Stinson's seaplanes and ground aircraft and many in-flight scenes and bird's-eye views of Atlantic City. The newspaper article and album label note that Richardson was the first civilian from Jersey City to take aerial photographs. Stinson was an early Wright-trained aviator and served as a flight instructor for the U.S. Army during World War I. Following the war he started a barnstorming troupe and during one year earned over $100000 as a stunt pilot. He set a world endurance record for flight in 1921 and eventually founded the Stinson Aircraft Company of Dayton and Detroit which produced a number of very popular aircraft. Stinson accumulated more than 16000 hours of flight time - the most of any pilot in his lifetime - but he died in a 1932 airplane crash at Chicago. A very pleasing collection of early aviation stunt pilots and aerial photos of New Jersey. unknown

The letter is addressed to "Mr Bartlett" probably Frederic Bartlett one of the forerunners of cognitive psychology written on the author's home stationery and dated 20 September 1928. "You may like a copy of 'The Mathematical Psychology of War' if I have not already sent you one. If so you can pass it on. L. F. Richardson". In a postscript Richardson notes that this is his only published work but soon there may be two papers by him in the Journal of General Psychiatry. In the work the mathematician and pacifist Lewis Fry Richardson 1881-1953 developed a mathematical model for describing the change in animosity between two opposing sides during a war and "postulated that the rate of increase of the warlike activity of one nation depended on the current activity of the opposing nation" ODNB. It was published at the author's own expense costing him £35 for 300 copies in total. It contains Bertrand Russell's 20-line contribution "Problem: To Produce in Two Nations a Mutual Will to War" pp. 15-16. "Russell had been impressed with the manuscript which Stanley Unwin had forwarded him although he thought that Richardson's subject required a more extended treatment and that he should 'eliminate dogmatic statements of his metaphysical opinions where they are irrelevant'. But otherwise 'Mr. Richardson's main ideas appear to me true original and important' 29 December 1918. Russell's 'Problem' was enclosed with this letter to Unwin with instructions that it be passed on to the author 'for his amusement'" Rempel & Haslam p. 405. Quarto. Roneo typescript pp. 3 50.

ARCHIVE Of FOUR TLS LETTERS FROM RICHARD HALLIBURTON'S CHINESE JUNK "The SEA DRAGON"; November 1938 to February 1939. Two Photographic Images of the "Sea Dragon" included

193941578San Francisco Shanghai / Macao / Hong Kong: The Trans-Pacific Chinese Junk Expedition Inc 1939. Letters are dated: Nov 20 1938; Jan 18th 1939; Jan 27th 1939; and Feb 16th 1939. Though typewritten and mimeographed all four are personally signed by Halliburton. Letters typewritten to buff paper envelopes with blue seal of the "Sea Dragon" with illustration printed to front. Modest wear to paper some light age-toning and rubbing to papers. Envelopes rubbed and worn. Withal a VG lot. Pages within the letters: 5 3 4 3 Total of 16 typewritten pages. Two black and white Kodak photographs are included printed in 1957 presumably from a negative of Robert Pullen's famous shots of the "Sea Dragon" taken just before its doomed maiden voyage. Letters: 14" x 8-1/2". Photographs:. Who took the first aerial picture of Mount Everest after receiving express permission by stunning the Majarajah of Nepal with bi-plane aerobatics Richard Halliburton was a legendary American travel writer and adventurer. Reading stories of his feats and antics seem surreal - after all who flies an airplane upside down over the Taj Mahal Halliburton was born in January of 1900 in Brownsville Tennessee. Deciding at an early age not to settle down and grow old with a wife and family as the rest of his family and friends seemed to be doing. After graduating from Princeton Halliburton traveled on as many adventures as possible and published his first novel The Royal Road to Romance in 1925 at the tender age of 25. His first novel became a bestseller and was followed by more published adventures in 1927 and 1929. He enjoyed fame and adventures for a little over a decade before deciding in 1938 that his next grand feat would be to cross the Pacific ocean from Hong Kong to the San Francisco International Exposition in a Chinese Junk ship made expressly for his purposes. It is on this voyage that Halliburton and the entire crew of the Junk the "Sea Dragon" were lost at sea having gotten caught in a typhoon. In 1945 a 150-foot ship outline with Chinese lettering washed ashore in California this thought to possibly be some of the wreckage of the "Sea Dragon." Letter I: Halliburton describes the arrival in China and purpose of the expedition as well as his interest in junks stemming from a 1 ft. scale model he sailed as a child. He explains that he chose to use a junk for his journey because of their stability and notes that it is possible it will not be the smoothest ride. He quips: "If the junk should be small the storms violent and the voyage long - all the better. For if there is no hazard no battle where is the sport" He introduces the "friends" of the expedition to his crew of Captain John Welch Henry von Fehren "Bru" Potter among others. Halliburton also spends a significant amount of time discussing the war with China and Japan and the Japanese belief systems. Letter 2: The second letter discusses the search for an appropriate junk and the ultimate decision to build their own that could be modified for the journey. Working with the man said to be the best ship-builder in Hong Kong Mr. Fat Kau and the appropriation of a few more crew members a chef and a radio operator. Letter 3: The third letter posted from Canton desribes their taking the Sea Dragon out for a "shake down" cruise with Mr. Fat Kau as his guest who though a builder of ships had never sailed on one and with high seas nearly everyone aboard became seasick. Halliburton notes the dry deck despite the high waves and believes he was right about the Sea Dragon's sea-worthiness. Much of the rest of the letter is spent discussing Canton the disputes between the Chinese and Japanese the destruction the looters and other conditions in the city. Letter 4: After setting out on their voyage the Sea Dragon needed to return after only 2 days due to sickness on the boat. Though Halliburton seems only a trifle annoyed at the delay of their voyage he is excited enough to try again and leaves his readers with this: "In about another week we plan to leave again to slip away as quietly as possible and head east once more around the southern tip of Formosa - and straight on to Midway. If all goes well the next letter the fifth will carry an American stamp for Midway Island is American. When this the fourth letter reaches you we'll be a thousand miles along the way - I hope. Many thanks again for your interest and good will. Faithfully Richard Halliburton" The Trans-Pacific Chinese Junk Expedition, Inc unknown books
