24189Nash’s eight TLsS from between 4 July 1949 and 10 October 1951; all on letterheads of 2 Bristol Court West Marine Parade Brighton. Macqueen-Pope’s carbons from 1949 and 1951. ‘The Tragic Comedians’ 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 ' “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. See also Macqueen-Pope’s entry in the Oxford DNB. The collection of eleven items is in fair overall condition with minor creasing and aging to some items. Nash’s eight letters are all signed ‘Percy Nash’ 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 ‘My dear Popie’. The two men are clearly well acquainted - to one letter Nash adds the autograph note ‘Come & see us soon!!!’. The first letter contains personal information about the 1897 murder of the actor William Terris outside the Adelphi. ‘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 “Wall†eye he sent him away. It was Prince. Terris’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.’ He concludes in the same vein. Letter of 3 August 1950 begins: ‘I am under the impression that I am the last living “Acting†Not ‘Walk on’ member of Irvings Lyceum Theatre Company.’ After describing a visit to Irving’s centenary service at St Martin’s in the Fields he adds ‘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.’ On 9 November 1950 he writes intriguingly: ‘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.’ Letter of 14 December 1950 describes ‘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 “Write up†of Chue in “Everybodysâ€.’ On 24 June 1951 he praises Popie’s new book ‘Ghosts and Greasepaint’: ‘Every word and picture takes me back through my whole life from the ‘Fly posting’ inside cover of Drink which we used to call “Lets av some more†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 “Gone befores†and I feel strangely lonely but when I pass over and it can’t be long now I shall tell them all what a Champion they left behind them to keep their memory green.’ The last letter 10 October 1951 concerns a radio broadcast featuring Popie: ‘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 “peter†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.N’s.’ The carbons of two of Popie’s replies are both unsigned. Each 1p 4to. The first 5 July 1949 discusses of the Terris murder. The second is a response to Nash’s last letter. The final item is a typescript of reminiscences titled ‘The Tragic Comedians / Laughter and Tears.’ 2pp 4to. Whether this is by Popie or Nash or another party is unclear. There is one autograph emendation. Observations on George Formby ‘I have been present at a performance when the audience were screaming with merriment at him during his “Turn†and he was compelled to turn his back on them to conceal his terrible cough which eventually closed his career.’ George Bastow Melville Gideon Leslie Stuart and a final long passage on Dan Leno ‘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 Dan’.

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.

26050The draft of the meeting with Mehmet Ali after his return from his travels in April 1837 and published in November of that year. One of the other items dated 18 April 1841 from 103 Westbourne Terrace London. Another from Midhurst 20 June 1856. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ‘Mehemet Ali’. The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet ‘which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute . attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s. In October Cobden embarked on a long tour sailing via Lisbon Gibraltar and Malta to the eastern end of the Mediterranean as far as Constantinople meeting Mehmet Ali in Egypt before returning via Greece in April 1837.’ The present text is the conclusion of the draft manuscript of the account he gave of that meeting and had published in Tait’s Edinburgh Magazine in November 1838. 1p foolscap 8vo. The page is headed ‘20’ and carries ten lines of text one and a half lines of which are deleted. Lightly aged worn and creased. On reverse in pencil in a contemporary hand: ‘Cobden / M. S. S His work in Turkey’. The text reads with deleted passage in square brackets: ‘Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man - the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed - and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali’. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person with reverse blank. In fair condition lightly aged. Reads: ‘Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury a memorial’. THREE: Printed form response with thick black border. 1p 32mo. In fair condition on discoloured paper. Reads with manuscript text in square brackets: ‘Mr & Mrs Cobden return thanks for the favor of Mr Smiths kind enquiries. / Midhurst 20 June 1856’. The word ‘return’ has been altered from ‘returns’. The draft of the meeting with Mehmet Ali after his return from his travels in April 1837, and published in November of that year unknown
