Keys features in his son's entry in the Oxford DNB. (John Paddy Carstairs was christened Nelson John Keys.) Three theatrical autographs - Nelson Keys, 'G. L.' and 'Gordon' - on one side of a 25 x 20.5 cm piece of card. Apparently a gift from fellow cast-members to the actress playing the 'Spirit of Spring' in the Arthur Wimperis sketch 'The Queen of Hearts', in the C. B. Cochran London Pavilion revue 'London, Paris and New York', which ran for 366 performances between 1920 and 1921. J. P. Wearing, 'The London Stage 1920-1929' (2014), states that the 'Queen of Hearts' sketch was introduced on 6 June 1921, and reports that the Times reviewer 'thought that the revue demonstrated that Nelson Keys, taking part in every scene, was "one of the very best comedians of the generation."' In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. At the head, in a bold hand: 'Always Bunch to you, to anyone else, / Sincerely yours / Nelson Keys'. Covering the greater part of the page is a thirty-line poem signed and dated at the end 'G. L. / 20. V. 21'. Arranged in five numbered six-line stanzas it is titled 'To the "Spirit of Spring" (Thoughts born on Whit Monday 1921.)' Begins: 'As down the sun-kissed glade you pass, / From dew-bespangled blades of grass, / Bright gems you fling.' Towards the top of the right-hand margin, in the same hand, is the following quotation from Oscar Wilde: 'For if these fallen petals / One to you seem fair, / Love will waft it, till it settles / On your hair. / O. W.' And in the bottom right-hand corner: 'Give me your hands. / Let grief & sorrow still possess his heart / That does not wish you joy. / The Tempest / Act V. Sc. i / Gordon'. See image.…

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. A frail survival, with the photographic portraits in good condition, but the brittle leaves chipped and discoloured. One bifolium intact (with remains of string binding), all the other leaves detached and loose, making it difficult to ascertain whether the item is or is not complete. (The entry for the only copy traced on OCLC WorldCat, at the Universitätsbibliothek Bayreuth, describes it as ' 6 Bl. : : nur Ill.') The title carries an attractive illustration by Norman Keene, and lists the actors (photographed in character) as Miss Gertie Millar, Miss Gwendoline Brogden, Miss Teddie Gerrard, Mr. Arthur Playfair, Miss Gina Palerme, Mr. A. Simon-Girard, Mr. Nelson Keys; with 'Books and Lyrics by Arthur Wimperis and Basil Hood. | Music by Lionel Moncokton and Herman Finck. | Produced by Edward Royce and Tom Reynolds.' The illustrations are all present as per subjects listed on title-page andt in the following note on the back cover: 'The Music of "Bric-a-Brac" is published by Chappell & Co. and Hawkes & Son. | The Photographic Reproductions in this Souvenir are from originals by Rita Martin (Miss Gertie Millar and Miss Gina Palerme), Hugh Cecil (Miss Gwendoline Brogden) and Foulsham & Banfield (Miss Teddie Gerrard, Mr. Nelson Keys, Mr. Arthur Playfair, Mr. A. Simon-Girard). | The Copyright Design on the Cover is by Norman Keene (reproduced by permission of P. C. Burton & Co.)' The page on which each of the seven illustrations is laid down is printed in grey, with a facsimile of the actor's signature, and a few bars of the score associated with the actor's character, in facsimile autograph of either Monckton or Finck, and each with a facsimile of the composer's signature. From the papers of the composer Herman Finck [ born Hermann Van Der Vinck ] (1872-1939). …
