193428772Chicago IL: Tower Magazines Inc. 1934. Cover creases edge wear with closed tears a good to very good copy. 28772. Large octavo single issue cover by Harold Woolridge pictorial wrappers. Fiction by Walter F. Ripperberger Stuart Palmer Ellery Queen Roger East and others. A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.

24533Letter: 12 November 1948. On letterhead of 2 Bristol Court West Marine Parade Brighton. CV undated but with autograph address 'Percy Nash / 2 Bristol Court West / Marine Parade. / Brighton. / Sussex'. From the Macqueen-Pope papers. See MP's entry in the Oxford DNB. Nash made around 70 films between 1912 and 1927 and was a key figure in the creation of Elstree Studios. His career as a film maker was effectively ended following the screening of his 1921 film 'How Kitchener was betrayed'. See Bernard Ince ' “For the Love of the Artâ€: The Life and Work of Percy Nash Film Producer and Director of the Silent Era’ ‘Film History’ September 2007. Both items in good condition lightly aged each with light rust staining at one corner from paper clip. LETTER: 1p 4to. Signed ‘Percy Nash’. He begins by stating that he has enjoyed 'immensely' MP’s ‘articles re the Theatre World’ as well as his book ‘Carriages at Eleven’. He continues: ‘I got quite a thrill when I read that you appreciated the dance in front of the Act drop in the “merry wives†production at His Majestys. I suggested the idea during rehearsals but Tree didn’t catch on to it at the time but when the Curtain was lowered and raised a dozen times at the end he screamed “Do what you wanted to doâ€. Naturally a thing like that required rehearsing but I risked it and luckily it came off all right.’ Although ‘past the age for personal publicity to attract me’ he is enclosing ‘a list of my various adventures in the World of Entertainment’. He will be happy to allow MP to consult his ‘good amount of data such as Programmes Private letters from many Stars of the bygone Firmament etc.’ TWO: Signed Typed CV: 2pp: the first a full single-spaced A4 page the second last five lines of typed text and autograph name and address on cut-down top part of A4 page now 1p landscape 8vo. Signed on p.2: ‘Percy Nash / 2 Bristol Court West / Marine Parade. / Brighton. / Sussex’. The list is headed ‘PERCY NASH. born December 5th 1868.’ Begins: ‘Began thetrical sic career as assistant at Theatre Royal Bournemouth in 1889. Whilst there Toured the West Country with John L. Toole The Gilbert and Sullivan Operas German Reeds George Grossmith on leaving the Savoy Theatre. Paderewski First Tour Sims Reeves and other famous Concert artistes.’ Contains the following: ‘Became a pioneer in the British Film World organised and Directed the first pictures for the original London Film Company. Built the first Film Studios at Elstree. Directed Pictures in Rome for the CINES and TIBER Film Companies and the UNIVERSAL Film Co of America’. / First President of the British Association of Film Directors / Film Producer for the Federation of British Industries / Production Manager of the British Lion Film Corporation’.

26224No date. On letterhead of 43 Cloth Fair London EC1. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p 12mo. In fair condition but lightly discoloured with a large rectangle of sunning covering most of the lower part and a neat crease at bottom right not affecting the signature which is partially sunned. Annotated in pencil by a later hand on the reverse. Betjeman’s handwriting is bad so the following reading is tentative. ‘Dear Lady Jones / I meant to write to you long ere this to tell you how grateful I was to you & Sir Roderick Jones her husband for letting us house this prize in your capacious drawing room. I was grateful to you too for remembering our conversation at Old Billa’s Lady Wilhelmine Harrod wife of the economist Sir Roy Harrod in Oxford. I remember being impressed with it there & “that really exactly how I feel.â€â€™ See IMage No date. On letterhead of 43 Cloth Fair, London EC1. hardcover
12476Ramsdon sic. 24 January 1822. 2pp. 12mo. In a windowpane mount on a leaf removed from an album. The letter itself very good on aged paper; the mount worn at extremities. He begins by informing the recipient that his 'last Letter has made ample atonement for the provocation of the preceding' and he has 'ever been the foremost both in word & deed to keep my wings in motion. I speak this seriously: my former note was only a temporary petulance'. The second paragraph begins: 'I must positively have another Paper for my Orators'. He has 'run to a fearful length & yet have cramped myself all the way. Besides what I enclose I shall have ready as much to forward in the shape of reflexion inferences &c before I enclose with my legal oratory. And then I have the Political Oratory on my hands'. He continues: 'I engage to bring Demosthenes upon the stage in a new manner & when I have him there I should like to shew him to as much advantage as I can'. The letter continues in the same vein with a postscript beginning: 'Let me hear as soon as you can that my time of gestation is extended.' Ramsdon [sic]. 24 January 1822. unknown
Pages 94-208. Index. "This early Jewish labor movement was a remarkable and unique phenomenon which loses much when its story is told only as part of labor history... What is on record is the effort of these generations of union men, of socialists, anarchists, and of Labor Zionists to wrest from their employers maximum salaries and optimum working conditions." - from page 94.
