From the Macqueen-Pope papers (see his entry in the Oxford DNB). 2pp, 8vo. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, and folded three times for postage. She asks him to send '3 or 4 more copies' of his 'nice write up in the "Sunday Chronicle" March 13th.', as she would like to send 'a copy to Australia, Canada & America, as there is some talk about my going to America in the near future'. She has 'tried all over Streatham and Brixton and it seems impossible to get a copy anywhere', and will be happy to pay the cost. She would 'also like to ask you if you could put me in touch with anyone who could write up my memoirs for me'.…

From the Macqueen-Pope papers. See both their entries in the Oxford DNB. The four items in good condition, lightly aged and creased, with slight spotting to one corner of Item. Folded for postage. ONE: ALS dated 28 December 1950. 2pp, 12mo. Before sending seasonal greetings she begins: 'My dear Popie / I returned home to find your wonderful book waiting for me. Many many thanks for your tributes to myself therein & [your?] gift of the book much appreciated - I listened with pleasure to you on the Radio the way you stood your ground against the opposition consolidated your point for individuality. Cheers!' TWO: ALS, undated but from 1956. 1p, 4to. Arranging a BBC interview with MP. 'I have to choose 5-6 Photos for interview to talk about subject to B.B.C. You and me. Will you mark what you think would interest them & I will see if the subjects appeal to me too.' She will write 'saying all this' to Joyce Belfridge, who has agreed for the interview to take place near to her eight-seventh birthday (thus dating the letter). THREE: ALS, 'Tuesday'. 2pp, 12mo. 'Popie my dear / Your book has just arrived and as usual is grand. I have started reading it and am going to be late for all appointments. / I am a bit sad though to feel there is no picture of your old friends Seymour and Ella!' She ends with renewed thanks, 'a thousand times'. FOUR: ACS (unillustrated), postmarked 8 July 1957. Addressed to 'W. Macqueen Pope Esqr. / 5-6 Coventry St / London.' 'How are you both? / I do hope well with prospect of holiday. Its a long time since I have had news. / Your old friend / Ella.'.…

Each letter 1p, 8vo. Both in fair condition, lightly aged and creased. On signing one of the letters she has slightly smudged it. ONE: 28 May [1950]. She thanks him for his 'fascinating-looking book, THE MELODIES LINGER ON', and for his 'most generous inscription'. She and her husband 'Richard' (the drama critic Richard Halliday) have 'read bits and pieces and have looked at every photograph, and can't wait to really sit down and read the book from cover to cover!' She continues: 'And that will be soon. I close here this coming Saturday, June 2nd - and Richard and I leave June 4th for six weeks - and we expect to do nothing but eat and sleep and rest and read.' She gives 'our present schedule', with reference to her sons Heller and Larry (i.e. Larry Hagman, star of the TV series 'Dallas'). They are all going on 'a trip through Ireland and Scotland', 'if the army doesn't get [Larry] first'. She ends with reference to an interview with 'two English women from the DAILY MAIL', and ends with her secretary's address. TWO: Undated [1951]. It is 'truly wonderful' to hear from him, and as requested she is 'sending under separate cover two programs from SOUTH PACIFIC', the difference between which she explains. She continues: 'Yes, I can't help but let myself get more and more excited each day about the possibility of being back at Drury Lane and seeing all of you again. If and when we open there, it certainly will be the culmination of a long plan. | Just imagine - when I left London I said that my idea of perfection would be to play one year in New York and one year in London and back and forth that way for the rest of my life. It seems unbelievable that if we do open in October or November, it will be five years since I've been there. Moreover, it will be only a few more weeks before I celebrate two years in SOUTH PACIFIC. | You can't blame me for being excited!' She ends by joining her best wishes to those of 'Richard and Heller'. Mary Martin did indeed bring 'South Pacific' to the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, where it ran for 802 performances with Wilbur Evans as co-star. Sean Connery was in the chorus.…

The material collected here is perhaps unique: it is not clear whether any material relating to Macqueen-Pope's BBC broadcasts has survived elsewhere. It is hard to overestimate the significance of 'Popie' to the history of the London stage. Other items from among his papers offered seperately attest to the regard in which he was held by both actors and those behind the scenes, as the foremost chronicler of a cherished era that was quickly passing into oblivion. His entry in the Oxford DNB describes how, in the 1950s, he was 'in demand as a lecturer on the theatrical subjects he loved, and he appeared often in the same capacity on radio and on television. Ironically he regarded these two forms of public entertainment, and television in particular, as representing a serious threat to the survival of theatre, about which he cared passionately'. A total of twenty-seven items; comprising 15 BBC radio scripts by MP, with an additional five earlier drafts of some of them, together with two TLsS to MP from Mary Treadgold of the BBC Overseas Service, two carbons of notes from MP to Treadgold, and three typed music lists by MP for the particular broadcasts. Fifteen of the items (Five and Seven to Twenty), comprising eleven scripts and earlier drafts of four of them, are from a series of 'Theatre Songs and Stories by W. Macqueen-Pope', broadcast on the BBC Overseas Service in 1951. (The other scripts would appear to have been broadcast on the same channel at the same time.) Apart from Item Six, which is worn and chipped but with text complete, the material is in good overall condition, with the inevitable slight aging and wear, and with slight rust-staining from paperclips. All items in 4to except for Five and Six, which are foolscap 8vo, and a total of 131pp. Items Thirteen and Eighteen incomplete; the other twenty-five items complete. ONE and TWO: Two drafts of 'Half a Century of Musical Comedy / Script and Narration by W. Macqueen-Pope', both headed 'Broadcast'. Both 16pp. Undated, but from 1951, as states that 1894 was '57 years ago'. The second, a black ink carbon, incorporates the typed emendations in the first, a blue-ink carbon. THREE. 'Bring Back Harlequin'. Dated 27 December 1951 and headed 'Broadcast'. 7pp, with pencil emendations. FOUR: 'Music From the Theatre by W. Macqueen-Pope.' Headed 'Broadcast'. 4pp. FIVE. 'Theatre Songs and Stories by W. Macqueen-Pope', concerning 'The Gaiety Theatre, London'. In top right-hand corner of first page: '(Rough specimen of Broadcast).' 5pp, foolscap 8vo. SIX. '1 Memories of Olympia by W. Macqueen-Pope.' 4pp, foolscap 8vo. (Items Seven to Twenty are all headed 'Theatre Songs and Stories by W. Macqueen-Pope.' with 'Broadcast' at top left of first page.) SEVEN and EIGHT. Two drafts of 'No. 2. Theatre Royal, Drury Lane'. Both headed '2nd Broadcast'. The earlier, 4pp; the later, also 4pp, with 'Broadcast' at head of first page by MP in pencil, and carrying a couple of pencil emendations. Both drafts refer to the recent death of Ivor Novello, the first describing him as 'an immortal' whose 'music will be played so long as there remains a British audience to listen to it'. NINE and TEN. Two drafts of 'The Adelphi Theatre'. The earlier, 8pp, with additional leaf carrying typed note headed 'Broadcast Inset after 'Nymph Errant'; the later, 5pp, abridged and rewritten, but incorporating the 'Inset'. (Regarding 'The Quaker Girl' MP writes: 'A wonderful show for the wonderful nights of a wonderful period. That first night on 5th November 1910 was a triumph for all concerning and sitting in the stalls with his bride and applauding as enthusiastically as anyone was a young politician named Winston Churchill.') ELEVEN. 'The Alhambra. Leicester Square.' 4pp. Pencil emendation. TWELVE and THIRTEEN. 'Daly's Theatre'. 4pp; with first page only of later draft, with minor pencil emendations. FOURTEEN. 'The Holborn Empire'. Dated 21 November 1951. 5pp. FIFTEEN and SIXTEEN. Two drafts of 'The Palace Theatre'. The earlier, 8pp, with a few emendations in pen; the later, 5pp, incorporating the emendations and with pencil addition. SEVENTEEN and EIGHTEEN. Two drafts of 'The London Coliseum'. The earlier, of 4pp, with an addition in pencil; the later, lacking p.3 of 4pp, incorporating the addition. NINETEEN. 'The Oxford Music Hall'. 4pp, with addition in pencil. TWENTY. 'His Majesty's Theatre.' Dated 21 November 1951. 4pp. TWENTY-ONE and TWENTY-TWO. Two sets of music lists. The first of 6pp, with the pages headed: 'Adelphi Music', 'Palace Theatre Music - in place of London Pavilion', 'Savoy Music', 'Daly's Music', 'Alhambra' and 'Music for Drury Lane'; the second, 3pp, with pencil emendations, the pages headed: 'Adelphi', 'Palace' and 'Adelphi' (followed by 'Palace'). TWENTY-THREE. Music list accompanying Item Four ('Music from the Theatre'), headed 'Tunes for 2nd Broadcast', with entries ticked in pencil. TWENTY-FOUR and TWENTY-FIVE. Two TLsS from Mary Treadgold, Talks Producer, General Overseas Service, to MP. Each on BBC (200 Oxford Street) letterhead. The first, 21 June 1951, 2pp, giving 'the Music List for Daly's; the second, 20 September 1951, 2pp, giving a long list of 'the music - with comments - for both the Coliseum and the Oxford. The programme for the Oxford is being broadcast fairly soon so it is really essential now that we get these two scripts recorded pretty quickly.' Checked in pencil with autograph notes by MP. TWENTY-SIX and TWENTY-SEVEN. Carbons of TNsS from MP to Treadgold, 26 June and 2 August 1951. Each 1p. The first with carbon copy of MP's signature. In the first he suggests that 'we use the Merry Widow as the signature tune rather than the Dollar Princess. The Widow was Daly's most outstanding play.' The second presents 'the Adelphi and Palace scripts. The Adelphi is a bit "talk-ey" but we cannot help it. The stories have the merit of being good ones.'.…
