Add to basket1p, 12mo. Letterhead in green. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor traces of glue from mount adhering to blank reverse. Addressed to 'My dear Chudleigh'. He asks him to accept 'the accompanying volume', which he ordered to be bound for him 'weeks ago but it has only turned up this morning'. He is 'delighted to know that…Pinero's brilliant play seems to he having the great success it deserves'. (Pinero's farce 'Preserving Mr Panmure' ran for 99 nights from 19 January 1911 at the Comedy Theatre.) Guthrie's 1885 novella 'The Tinted Venus' served as the basis of the 1943 Broadway musical 'One Touch of Venus', with music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Ogden Nash, and book by S. J. Perelman and Nash, which was made into a 1948 Hollywood film starring Ava Gardner and Robert Walker.

Add to basketSee the entry for Grey and Taylor in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. On first leaf of bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Begins: 'Dear Mr Taylor - / I am just come home from seeing "the ticket of leave man," & before I go to bed I must thank you for an evening of very great enjoyment.' It pleased him 'to see so…good a play, not taken from the French, but really English, [the play was in fact adapted from the French] & teaching the public what is true instead of encouraging a popular delusion of the day'. Taylor has been 'very lucky too' in his actors, and 'the whole play is capitally got up, & I do not know that I ever enjoyed one more'. Good firm valediction: 'Very faithfully / Grey'.

Add to basket4pp., 12mo. On aged paper, with minor traces of gum from mount. Taylor begins: 'My dear Charles Neville | I was glad to receive your letter, for it showed that the seed I had taken pains to sow had not fallen, as most seed so sown in the theatre does fall, upon an ungrateful soil. I am very glad for your own sake, as well as tha…t of fthe play, that your impersonation of William the IIId has made such a good mark, and a mark of the right kind - as a presentation of a historical personage of note in distinctive character.' Neville has 'much to learn - especially in the very difficult point of modulation of the voice, which shd. be as flexible & transparent to shroud the thought through it, as a robe of India muslin to shroud the form.' He urges Neville to 'work at this night & day', and to 'not be satisfied till you have tamed your rebellious organ'. He should 'always take good advice, & be grateful for pains bestowed upon you by those whose advice & instruction are disinterested, sound, and founded on a high conception of your art.'.

Add to basket4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. The first page headed 'Act III', and the whole tightly-written and filled with deletions, interpolations and marginal notes, providing a valuable insight into the creative process of one of Victorian England's most successful dramatists. The last page breaks off: 'Handeside conf…esses his own desperate attachment. Markham '. 'A Sister's Penance' was a great success, with 83 performances at the Adelphi between 26 November 1866 and 2 March 1867.
