He begins: 'Word of the loss of your dear husband reached us some time ago, but I was not able to write you until just now when I received your address from Ralph Hawkes.' He offers his condolences 'on behalf of our whole organisation'. According to Hawkes 'the funeral service was a most impressive one' and 'Mr. Finck was a great figure in the musical world and that he shall be missed a great deal. I can readily understand all of these statements, because I know he was not only a distinguished musician, but a very fine gentleman as well.'

Ten unpaginated 26 x 22 cm. leaves, comprising three leaves of letterpress (cover, title and back cover), and seven leaves each with a 17 x 14 cm black-and-white photograph laid down.

Softcover. Condizione: Gut bis sehr gut. Condizione sovraccoperta: Gut bis sehr gut. 1. Auflage. 16-seitige, sehr seltene Broschüre mit wunderschön geprägtem Pappeinband (25,3 x 31,8 cm), die tanzende Pawlowa darstellend. Sprache: englisch. --- Zustand: Etwas fleckig, Buchklammern rostig, Bindung gelockert. Über Anna Pawlowna Pawlowa (Quelle: wikipedia): Anna Pawlowna Pawlowa - Anna Matwejewna Pawlowa, in westlichen Sprachen oft Anna Pavlova transkribiert; * 31. Januar jul. / 12. Februar 1881 greg. in Sankt Petersburg; gest. 23. Januar 1931 in Den Haag) war eine russische Meistertänzerin des klassischen Balletts. --- Leben: Anna Pawlowa besuchte die Petersburger Theaterfachschule, wo sie unter anderem eine Schülerin von Jekaterina Wasem war. Ab 1899 gehörte sie zum Ensemble des dortigen Mariinski-Theaters. Sie tanzte Hauptrollen in Der Nussknacker, Raimonda, Giselle, La Bayadère, Paquita, La Fille du Pharaon, Harlequinade u. a. Unter Michel Fokine tanzte sie größere Partien, u. a. in Les Sylphides und Ägyptische Nächte. 1907 inszenierte Fokine für sie das bekannte Solo Der sterbende Schwan. Gastauftritte ab 1908 in ganz Europa machten Pawlowa international bekannt. Als Sergej Djagilew 1909 Les Ballets Russes in Paris gründete, übernahmen Vaslav Nijinsky und Anna Pawlowa die führenden Rollen. Die Ballets Russes wurden zu einer der berühmtesten und erfolgreichsten Ballettkompanien ihrer Zeit. Ab 1910 wohnte Anna Pawlowa dauerhaft in London. Bei ihren folgenden Tourneen begleiteten sie die Berliner Gesellschaftsfotografin Frieda Riess und der Zeichner Ernst Oppler. Sie war in den Zwanziger Jahren mit dem Bildhauer Hugo Lederer in Berlin befreundet und schuf in seinem Atelier und unter seiner Leitung zwei kleine, ganzfigurige Selbstporträts, die als Porzellanfiguren im Victoria and Albert Museum in London erhalten sind (Museum Nr, S. 296 1978 und Nr, S. 105 1994). Am 23. Januar 1931 starb sie während ihrer Abschiedstournee im Alter von 49 Jahren an einer Lungenentzündung in einem Zimmer des Hôtel des Indes in Den Haag. Die Urne mit ihrer Asche wurde im Golders Green Crematorium im Londoner Stadtteil Hampstead beigesetzt. --- Namensverwendung: Eine der bekanntesten Süßspeisen in Australien und Neuseeland ist die Pavlova, eine Torte aus Baisermasse. Jenes Dessert wurde ihr zu Ehren so benannt, nachdem sie 1926 und 1929 mehrfach in beiden Ländern gastiert hatte. In welchem Land das Gebäck erfunden wurde, ist umstritten. Das Oxford English Dictionary nennt Neuseeland als Ursprungsort, da dort das älteste bekannte Rezept mit diesem Namen 1927 erschien. Auf einer russischen Silbermünze von 1993 ist ein Porträt Pawlowas abgebildet. Eine McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (gebaut: 31. August 1995) der niederländischen Fluggesellschaft KLM Royal Dutch Airlines mit dem Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen PH-KCH trug ihren Namen. Das titelgebende Eselfohlen des Romans Pawlowa oder Wie man eine Eselin um die halbe Welt schmuggelt wurde aufgrund seiner langen Beine nach Anna Pawlowa benannt. Der Asteroid des mittleren Hauptgürtels (3055) Annapavlova ist nach ihr benannt. --- Auszeichnungen: Sie wurde am 30. Mai 1927 von König Christian X. von Dänemark mit der dänischen Verdienstmedaille Ingenio et arti ausgezeichnet.…

Besides several musical pieces, accompanied on the piano by Mrs Willie Boothroyd, are comic performances one Charles F.Hill, 'The Dumb Droll, in a Wordless Sketch', and Harry Shirley and May Ransome 'in their delightful episodes, depicting comedy and pathos of Cockney life' and theatrical, including an Indian romance 'with Effects' and Mr W.Austin St Clair 'in Characters from Dickens'. It is unclear what, exactly, one might expect to see from 'Adkin, the Motoring Vent'. The Palace Theatre opened on Cole Street in Scunthorpe in 1912. It was renamed the Savoy Theatre in the 1930s, closed in the '70s, and eventually demolished. Language: English.…

For information on Littler see the entry in the Oxford DNB of his brother Prince Frank Littler (1901-1973), who did not share Emile's 'affection for plays or players individually'. Also see Macqueen-Pope's entry in the same work. The three items in fair condition, lightly aged and creased. Both signed 'Emile'. ONE: TLS of 15 November 1957. 1p, 4to. Reads: 'My dear Popie, / You know about everything in the Theatre, and I am wondering if you could tell me how many London pantomimes Julian Wylie did, either by himself or as the Wylie-Tate organisation. / I would be very interested to know if by any chance you have this information available.' In autograph: 'Many THANKS -' and minor correction. With pencil note by recipient. TWO: TLS of 19 November 1957. 1p, 4to. He thanks him for his letter, 'which I greatly appreciate. / I had been asked whether Julian Wylie had done more pantomimes in London than I had, or vice versa. I had an idea that I was quite a number ahead and you have kindly confirmed it. Actually, I have done fourteen in the West End and nobody living to-day has done as many as that.' He thanks him for his trouble, and evidently sending a bottle of wine, ends: 'Would you toast Julian with the attached.' THREE: Unsigned carbon of Macqueen-Pope's reply to Item One, 18 November 1957. Speaking form memory, since his 'references' are 'at home', he gives details of 'nine major pantomimes' that 'Julian did' in London.…

Five letters, each 1p., 4to. In fair condition, aged and creased. ONE: Palace Theatre, 4 July 1912. In capitals. Conveying the thanks of the King and Queen to the members of the orchestra for their work at the previous night's royal performance, and adding, for Finck: 'I have already told you how much I appreciate what you did on Monday night and the splendid manner in which you conducted. The success of the performance would have been impossible without your invaluable assistance.' TWO: Garrick House, 23 March 1921. Begins: 'I need hardly say that having regard to my very lengthy assocation with the Palace Theatre it is a matter of keen personal regret to me that I should be severing my connection with this magnificent Theatre, but the offer which the London Palace (1921) Limited made to the Shareholders (and which has to-day been completed) was of such a nature that I did not feel justified in refusing to recommend it to them for their acceptance.' He praises Finck as 'a pillar of strength' who has 'helped me from the Orchestral side to - I think I can say it without egotism - enhance the prestige and reputation of the Palace Theatre until it enjoyed a position which is unique in the Entertainkent World.' He hopes to associate with him in the future, and together with his colleagues wishes to show his appreciation 'in a practical manner', and so is enclosing a cheque for £250 (the figure being added in autograph). THREE: Drury Lane, 28 September 1926. In order to show their appreciation to Finck, the 'Directors of Drury Lane and Messrs Daniel Mayer Company' are enclosing a cheque for £50. FOUR: Drury Lane, 15 April 1931.

FIVE: Seymour House, 23 April 1931. Thanking him for subscribing to 'the really beautiful gift', adding 'The delightful manner in which you recall the many years during which we have worked together, and convey to me your good wishes for my future health and happiness will always be one of my most treasured possessions.' He ends by praising Finck's 'great knowledge of the Theatre, your ability to do your job, your loyalty and enthusiasm'. From the Herman Finck papers.…

Finck was a well-respected and much-loved figure on the London musical and theatrical scene. His 'In the Shadows' was among the last tunes played as RMS Titanic went down.

ONE: Autograph Manuscript by Finck, contained names and outlines of anecdotes for inclusion in his memoirs. 2pp., 12mo. On letterhead of 212 Finchley Road, London. As an example, here is the text at the foot of one page: 'Include A. C. M. Club in Club stories. | R. A. Roberts Colisseum | "By God! I'll ride to York." | Ralph Reader | "Have you ever written a Ballet about 50." | "Have you ever arranged one."' TWO: Autograph Card Signed ('Paps') from Finck to his wife Mabel ('Darling Mams'). On letterhead of the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne; 27 December 1918. A high-spirited missive beginning: 'I hope you all arrived safely & lost neither the bags or dogs.' On the address side Finck writes: 'I sent the wires | I had a share | I'm sending parcel to . | I tipped the Chambermaid. | I cannot get Laundry done. | I've been for a week | I had a rotten lunch. | I'm having tea | I bid you adieu.' THREE: Typed contract between Finck and the London publishers Hutchinson & Co., for a book to be titled 'In the Chair'. 19 October 1937.

Accepting 'the Diploma of Fellowship of the Guildhall School of Music, which the Music Committee of the Corporation of the City of London have so graciously offered to me.' NINE: Typed note: 'Mr. Herman Finck is of the opinion that there is something very illogical in the demand for a tax on his income from a Government, which, by rendering, through noise, his house useless for a composer to work in, makes the earning of that income impossible.' On reverse, in pencil: 'Book | Mams | "You've done a job of work in your time!"'.…
