Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book gives a thorough examination of egg laying contests, their origins and history, evolution over time, and future potential. The author traces the development of these contests, from their humble beginnings as brief competitions to their present-day status as year-long events that focus on both individual and collective performance. The book also delves into the broader implications of egg laying contests, including their role in promoting scientific breeding practices and advancing our understanding of poultry genetics. The author argues that egg laying contests have not only revolutionized the poultry industry but have also had a profound impact on our understanding of the factors that influence egg production. Ultimately, this book provides a valuable resource for poultry breeders, researchers, and historians, offering a comprehensive overview of the history and significance of egg laying contests. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

From the Macqueen-Pope papers. See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. Poke's two letters are in good condition, lightly aged, the second with slight rust spotting from paperclip; the carbons of MP's letters to Poke on aged, worn and discoloured cartridge paper. ONE: Poke to MP, 12 March 1951. 3pp, small 4to. Begins: 'My dear Popie, / I was rather out of depth on this article - "It was top of the Bill" - so I sent it over to my Father, [Fleet Street magazine owner Frederick Robert Poke] who has been devoted to Music Halls from very early days; and the following are some notes which he sent me, which I think I would like to pass on to you fr, in the light of what he says, you can probably do some revisions on your article.' A transcription of F. R. Poke's notes follows. He finds MP's proposed article 'rather heavy going. It would be a big wad of stuff to publish, but I feel that you should accept it.' He proceeds with specific points, with reference to the Brothers Horne ('it was a very amusing boxing match'), R. G. Knowles, Kate Carney, Fred Russell, and especially Charlie Whittle ('When he took London by storm, I remember his topping the bill over Marie Lloyd and doing four halls a night.'). Also: 'I was one of the few people who ever saw Dan Leno dance - he had to give up dancing because of his health.' The elder Poke continues by stating that he wantd to be a comedian himself. 'Fred Burnell of the Gee family taught me ho to manipulate a drum-major's wand. I will show you one day how to do it. And I also learned from some of these people trick-cycling. I could and can I think stand still on a bicycle and ride it backwards - both ways - and do a few other tricks on it.' He concludes with practical suggests about cutting the article. TWO: Poke to MP, 22 May 1951. 1p, 4to. Proposing to discuss his 'suggestions about HAMPTON COURT and the others'. Signed in his absence. 'I am dictating this from home for, unfortunately, I've got what the Doctor tells me is a form of dysentery - most uncomfortable.' THREE to FIVE: Unsigned carbons of letters to Poke from MP, each 1p, 4to. In the first he describes revisions he has made to the music hall article, in the second he proposes an article on 'The Pageantry of Hampton Court', and others on 'Earls Court, The White City and such exhibit[s] of theh past', in the third he condoles with Poke over his indisposition ('I am not too well myself and very harrassed.'). …

From the Macqueen-Pope papers. (See his entry in the Oxford DNB.) The subject of MP's article is the press agent and publicist Guido Orlando who came to the United States from Italy with his family in 1917. (MP may have come into contact with Orlando in his own position as press agent for Drury Lane and other theatres.) He was most active in Hollywood from the 1930s to 1960s. His papers are in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Margaret Herrick Library. (He also has an uncredited part in Godard's 1960 'Nouvelle Vague' classic 'À bout de souffle' ('Breathless').) ONE: Sidney Gordon to MP. TLS, 28 December 1950. 1p, 8vo. In good condition, lightly aged and creased, with slight rust spotting from paperclip. As the editor Greville Poke is away from the office, he has 'read the article carefully and I really do not think that he would consider it is suitable for Everybody's. As you may have noticed, it alludes to various scandals (incidentally, the latest and, obvious "tie-up" for the article is now dead as far as public interest is concerned) and, generally, is not quite in line with what we want for this paper. My opinion is strengthened by the fact that we were submitted an article on Orlando some months ago and it was turned down because of a certain flashiness.' He ends by conveying a message from Poke on another matter. TWO: Typed article titled '"Enfant Terrible" of Public Relations'. 17pp, 4to, each page on a separate page of cartridge paper. Double spaced, with title on an eighteenth leaf. In good condition, lightly aged, apart from a hole in the final leaf, resulting in loss of five or six words from the final paragraph. MP is not named as the author, but since he is submitting the piece, it is presumed that he is. Begins: 'The grim summer of 1950 would have been even more of a nightmare for millions of newspaper readers if front pages burdened with battles and casualty reports had not been brightened by a royal romance between a king and a sixteen-year-old American schoolgirl. / The king, Egypt's fabulous Farouk, apparently was spending a good deal of his time chasing Little Mimi Medart, from St. Louis, Missouri, through Europe's most plush-lined playgrounds. From Deauville and Biarritz, the swankiest of France's watering spots on the Atlantic Coast, to San Sebastian in Spain, the king trundled along in Mimi's wake, dragging the royal entourage behind him. / On both sides of the Atlantic, the king and the commoner became front-page news. Only Farouk's announcement of his engagement to Narriman Sadek ended the suspense. When it came, Mimi's mother breathed a sigh loud enough to be heard round the world and exclaimed to newsmen: / "Thank God! Now my daughter can go back and finish her studies in peace." / All of this, it should be explained, is one man's idea of how to sell hamburgers in St. Louis. It sounded like a fairly far-fetched method until you realize that the man is Guido Orlando, the gift of the American public relations profession to Europe.' The article finishes with the Farouk business after the first five pages. There follows a description of Orlando's appearance and background, before an account of his other activities, with reference to 'Don Jaime, the Duke of Segovia', 'Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York' and 'the Maharajah of Kapurthala'.…
