23929Poem by ‘Gordon. L.’ dated 20 June 1921. London Pavilion. Keys features in his son’s entry in the Oxford DNB. John Paddy Carstairs was christened Nelson John Keys. Three theatrical autographs - Nelson Keys ‘G. L.’ and ‘Gordon’ - on one side of a 25 x 20.5 cm piece of card. Apparently a gift from fellow cast-members to the actress playing the ‘Spirit of Spring’ in the Arthur Wimperis sketch ‘The Queen of Hearts’ in the C. B. Cochran London Pavilion revue ‘London Paris and New York’ which ran for 366 performances between 1920 and 1921. J. P. Wearing ‘The London Stage 1920-1929’ 2014 states that the ‘Queen of Hearts’ sketch was introduced on 6 June 1921 and reports that the Times reviewer ‘thought that the revue demonstrated that Nelson Keys taking part in every scene was “one of the very best comedians of the generation.â€â€™ In fair condition lightly aged and worn. At the head in a bold hand: ‘Always Bunch to you to anyone else / Sincerely yours / Nelson Keys’. Covering the greater part of the page is a thirty-line poem signed and dated at the end ‘G. L. / 20. V. 21’. Arranged in five numbered six-line stanzas it is titled ‘To the “Spirit of Spring†Thoughts born on Whit Monday 1921.’ Begins: ‘As down the sun-kissed glade you pass / From dew-bespangled blades of grass / Bright gems you fling.’ Towards the top of the right-hand margin in the same hand is the following quotation from Oscar Wilde: ‘For if these fallen petals / One to you seem fair / Love will waft it till it settles / On your hair. / O. W.’ And in the bottom right-hand corner: ‘Give me your hands. / Let grief & sorrow still possess his heart / That does not wish you joy. / The Tempest / Act V. Sc. i / Gordon’. See image. Poem by ‘G[ordon]. L.’ dated 20 June 1921. [London Pavilion.] unknown

37323Very Good. Two striking original photographs taken during the filming of Hans Richter's "8 x 8". One of the two photographs is signed in red ink by Philippe Halsman the photographer of both. A note on the back of the signed photo notes that Halsman signed this picture and that the film's cinematographer Arnold Eagle is visible in the background. The photos are mounted on discolored pieces of cardboard. In his original script for the film's prologue Richter wrote: ".my film 8 x 8 is a bizarre comedy-drama signs and sounds not only out of this world probably not even in the next. 8 x 8 mixes equal parts of Freud and Lewis Carroll with Venice Venus and Old Vienna Cocteau and Bullfights surrealism magic dreams girls and practically anything else that may currently be in your minds." Hans Richter undertook 8 x 8 at the suggestion of Marcel Duchamp a chess enthusiast after The Minotaur a planned sequel to the 'Narcissus' episode of Dreams That Money Can Buy failed to secure funding although 8 x 8 engaged similar concerns. 'Chess is so universal' wrote Richter to Jean Cocteau about this new project 'that practically every human situation has its corresponding move among the countless possibilities of chess.' The filmmaker further recognized a kinship between the work which took its title from the layout of a chessboard and Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. Some of the artists who appeared in this film included Max Ernst Fernand Léger Marcel Duchamp Man Ray and Alexander Calder. The photographs are accompanied by a reprint of an article that was written by Lewis Carroll collectors August and Clare Imholtz for the Fall 2019 issue of "Knight Letter" about the film and its participants along with a discussion of each of the photos. The photos are in very good condition. They measure 10.5 x 13.5 inches. PHOTO/062424. unknown
