Percy Nash (1869-1958), British film producer and director, key figure in the creation of Elstree Studios [W J Macqueen-Pope, thBiblio.com

Percy Nash British cinema pioneer. Eight Typed Letters Signed to theatre historian W. J. Macqueen-Pope with personal reminiscences. With carbons of two replies and typescript of reminiscences titled ‘The Tragic Comedians / Laughter and Tears’.

24189Nashâ€™s eight TLsS from between 4 July 1949 and 10 October 1951; all on letterheads of 2 Bristol Court West Marine Parade Brighton. Macqueen-Popeâ€™s carbons from 1949 and 1951. â€˜The Tragic Comediansâ€™ undated. 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 ' â€œFor the Love of the Artâ€: The Life and Work of Percy Nash Film Producer and Director of the Silent Eraâ€™ â€˜Film Historyâ€™ September 2007. See also Macqueen-Popeâ€™s entry in the Oxford DNB. The collection of eleven items is in fair overall condition with minor creasing and aging to some items. Nashâ€™s eight letters are all signed â€˜Percy Nashâ€™ and the first and longest has a long postscript in autograph. The eight total 9pp: four in 4to and five in 12mo. All are addressed to â€˜My dear Popieâ€™. The two men are clearly well acquainted - to one letter Nash adds the autograph note â€˜Come & see us soon!!!â€™. The first letter contains personal information about the 1897 murder of the actor William Terris outside the Adelphi. â€˜I was producing a Panto for Charles Denton at the time at the Parkhurst Theatre and I was short of a Chorister Denton phoned to say that he would have one for me the following morning. I called next day at Maiden Lane and he told me that he had a man but as he had a â€œWallâ€ eye he sent him away. It was Prince. Terrisâ€™s murderer E Dagnall Daggie was a member of the Adelphi Co at that time and he told me that Prince was a small part merchant who was spasmodically engaged there. He considered himself badly treated by the Management.â€™ He concludes in the same vein. Letter of 3 August 1950 begins: â€˜I am under the impression that I am the last living â€œActingâ€ Not â€˜Walk onâ€™ member of Irvings Lyceum Theatre Company.â€™ After describing a visit to Irvingâ€™s centenary service at St Martinâ€™s in the Fields he adds â€˜I am sure that I am the only one left connected with his Stage Management. Lionel Belmore who was with me at the time migrated to America and I am informed passed on a year or two ago.â€™ On 9 November 1950 he writes intriguingly: â€˜Re the G. B. Shaw incident you will be surprised at the undignified pranks that they got up to in the film at the behest of the little Scotchman.â€™ Letter of 14 December 1950 describes â€˜a long queue waiting to book and a slip of a girl solo to do the work . I am often in touch with Emily Norton Freds sister and she says she is very hard up perhaps this revival will healp. Jack Gladwin called in on Tuesday and I showed him the great â€œWrite upâ€ of Chue in â€œEverybodysâ€.â€™ On 24 June 1951 he praises Popieâ€™s new book â€˜Ghosts and Greasepaintâ€™: â€˜Every word and picture takes me back through my whole life from the â€˜Fly postingâ€™ inside cover of Drink which we used to call â€œLets av some moreâ€ to the index pages. I saw Warner first at the Princess in it and I signed the pledge. / My word! as I turn the pages over I see pictures of the â€œGone beforesâ€ and I feel strangely lonely but when I pass over and it canâ€™t be long now I shall tell them all what a Champion they left behind them to keep their memory green.â€™ The last letter 10 October 1951 concerns a radio broadcast featuring Popie: â€˜What a glorious night you must have had last Sunday. I listened in to the first part and it all seemed to go so slick and the applause was never allowed to â€œpeterâ€ out. I was connected in one way or the other with The Nellie Farren H.I. and Ellen Terry similar shows and they were nothing like I.Nâ€™s.â€™ The carbons of two of Popieâ€™s replies are both unsigned. Each 1p 4to. The first 5 July 1949 discusses of the Terris murder. The second is a response to Nashâ€™s last letter. The final item is a typescript of reminiscences titled â€˜The Tragic Comedians / Laughter and Tears.â€™ 2pp 4to. Whether this is by Popie or Nash or another party is unclear. There is one autograph emendation. Observations on George Formby â€˜I have been present at a performance when the audience were screaming with merriment at him during his â€œTurnâ€ and he was compelled to turn his back on them to conceal his terrible cough which eventually closed his career.â€™ George Bastow Melville Gideon Leslie Stuart and a final long passage on Dan Leno â€˜The greatest tragedy of all was to my thinking that every Panto first night at the Lane Two boxes were reserved for the members of his TWO families. The Boxes were placed one over the other on the same side of the Theatre so that they never knew each other were there or even that they existed. This fact used to worry Sir Augustus Harris and after him Arthur Collins lest they should make the discovery but they never did what a time of anguish it must have been for Danâ€™. Nash’s eight TLsS from between 4 July 1949 and 10 October 1951; all on letterheads of 2 Bristol Court West, Marine Parade, Bri unknown

"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.

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.
