Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. EXTREMELY RARE! REX WHISTLER designed this glorious programme for the State Performance in Honour of The President of the French Republic and Madame Lebrun, at the Royal Opera House, March 22, 1939. WHISTLER's cover design is an elaborate affair; the embossed card covers are ingeniously cut away in curves. It is fabulously decorated by Rex Whistler on the front and back. A gold cord, with tassels, forms the binding round the twelve folded pages. Dancers included Margot Fonteyn, Robert Helpmann, William Chappell, Frank Staff and Frederick Ashton. Sir Thomas Beecham conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This is a great collectable example of ephemera in its own right, but it is of especial value for admirers of Rex Whistler.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. In German. 30, (1) pages. 178 x 116 mm. Original wrappers bound in. Ludwig Anton Salomon Fulda (July 7, 1862 Frankfurt am Main - March 7, 1939 Berlin) was a German Jewish playwright and poet, with a strong social commitment. He lived with Moritz Moszkowski's first wife Henriette, née Chaminade, younger sister of pianist and composer Cécile Chaminade. He was a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts and the first president of the PEN of Germany (1925-1932). He visited the United States in 1906 at the invitation of the Germanistic Society. Since he was Jewish, the Nazis removed from his work in 1933. In 1939, after being denied entry into the United States, he, like countless other Jews, committed suicide, to save himself from an even worse death. What a pity he could not at least take some of his tormentors with him, but then, he was an old man, and a man of the pen, not of the sword. Fulda's creations used the relationships of his characters to develop the social and political issues of his time. Fulda's works include Das verlorene Paradies (1892; translated as The Lost Paradise, 1897), Der Talisman (1892), Jugendfreunde (1897) and Maskerade (1904). His novel Der Seeräuber was later freely adapted into the play The Pirate by S. N. Behrman. Fulda's 1901 play, Die Zwillingsschwester was adapted into the screenplay by Behrman and Salka Viertel of the American motion picture Two-Faced Woman (1941) starring Greta Garbo. Inspired by the story of Aladdin, he wrote Aladdin und die Wunderlampe. He also translated numerous works.
