192821285London: Princes Theatre 1928. Small 8vo. 8 pp. Illustrated from four photographs including two of young Fred & Adele Astaire. Striking color illustrated staplebound wrappers. A fine copy rusted staples holding but fragile of the scarce opening night programme for Gershwins' performance of "Funny Face"; subsequent night programmes were of a different design. The London production of "Funny Face" starred Fred and Adele Astaire and Leslie Henses with Sydney Howard. "Funny Face" was Fred Astaire's nickname for his sister Adele. The show played a total of 267 performances in London. The show business careers of Fred and Adele Astaire began with the family's move to New York City in 1905. They finally broke into Broadway in 1917 with "Over the Top" a patriotic revue and performed for U.S. and Allied troops at this time as well. Throughout the 1920s Fred and Adele appeared on Broadway and the London stage. They won popular acclaim with the theater crowd on both sides of the Atlantic in shows such as Jerome Kern's The Punch and Judy 1922 George and Ira Gershwin's Lady Be Good 1924 and Funny Face 1927 and later in The Band Wagon 1931. By then Fred Astaire's tap dancing was recognized as among the best. The dynamic & hugely talented duo broke-up upon Adele's marriage in 1932 to her first husband Lord Charles Cavendish the second son of the 9th Duke of Devonshire. Fred continued on with his career and is widely considered the greatest dancer in film history. Princes Theatre unknown

06672New York: Simon and Schuster 1960. A Superb Association Copy Across Two Generations of Great Songwriters<br /> Inscribed by Ira Gershwin to Leslie Bricusse<br /> A First Day Cover Signed by Ira and with a Clipped Signature of George<br /> And an Original Sketch by Ira<br /> <br /> GERSHWIN George & Ira. The George and Ira Gershwin Song Book. Foreword by Ira Gershwin. Illustrated by Milton Glaser. Arrangements by Dr. Albert Sirmay. New York: Simon and Schuster 1960.<br /> <br /> First edition first printing. Folio 12 x 9 inches; 305 x 229 mm. xiv 178 pp. Illustrated throughout with bold color designs by Milton Glaser. <br /> <br /> Spiral bound quarter orange cloth over black cloth boards front cover decoratively stamped and lettered in blind spine lettered in black. Spine slightly faded otherwise near fine. Housed in the original slightly worn color pictorial slipcase.<br /> <br /> A superb inscribed copy from the library of Leslie Bricusse enriched with a George Gershwin First Day Cover envelope signed and with a sketch by Ira.<br /> <br /> On the verso of the front free endpaper is mounted a First Day Cover February 28 1973 honoring George Gershwin signed in black ink by Ira Gershwin together with a carefully pasted clipped signature of George Gershwin uniting the brothers once again in a single presentation.<br /> <br /> On the color title-page Ira Gershwin has inscribed:<br /> "For Leslie Bricusse / with admiration / and all best - From sketch Ira Gershwin / Beverly Hills Nov. 4 '68"<br /> <br /> The sketch depicts a small stylized bowing figure - rendered in quick fluid lines - leaning forward in a gesture of theatrical deference. Rather than a portrait it is best understood as one of Ira Gershwin's characteristic spontaneous doodles: whimsical understated and gently performative. The figure reads almost as a self-effacing stage bow - an elegant visual flourish that mirrors the tone of the inscription itself. Such drawings when present add a distinct personal dimension to Gershwin inscriptions and are highly prized.<br /> <br /> This copy embodies a rare and meaningful intersection of three major figures in twentieth-century musical theater:<br /> George Gershwin - whose music defined an era; Ira Gershwin - custodian of that legacy and voice of its refinement<br /> and Leslie Bricusse - heir to that tradition bridging Broadway and the modern musical.<br /> <br /> The layered inscriptions correspondence and added materials create a dialogue across decades - transforming the volume from a musical anthology into a living document of artistic lineage.<br /> <br /> A deeply evocative association copy - uniting autograph material presentation inscription and original artwork-linking the Gershwins directly to one of their most important successors.<br /> <br /> A copy that transcends its bibliographical importance to become a piece of musical and cultural history.

Presentation copy inscribed by George Gershwin "to Charlotte Good wishes George Gershwin." In near fine condition with a few tiny punctures and light corner creasing. The piece is 5.5 inches by 8.75 inches. Famed musician George Gershwin signed this program only six months before his death. The Special Detroit Symphony Concert featuring Gershwin conducting and on the piano highlighted some of his best work including 'Rhapsody in Blue' and 'Porgy and Bess.' The concert was well-received and Gershwin was invited to perform the next season; however after Gershwin returned to Beverly Hills to prepare for another concert he began to suffer blinding headaches and a recurring impression that he smelled burning rubber. At his Los Angeles performance on February 11 1937 Gershwin normally a superb pianist suffered coordination problems and blackouts during the concert. These headaches and olfactory hallucinations continued for months until his collapse and subsequent coma. In the early hours of July 11 1937 doctors at Cedars removed a large brain tumor but unfortunately Gershwin died that morning at the age of 38. unknown
