See Michael Kennedy's assessment of Boult, in his entry in the Oxford DNB: 'In the music he admired most, Boult was often a great conductor; in the rest, an extremely conscientious one.' Good bold signature ('Adrian C. Boult') is centred on one side of an 11.5 x 9 cm piece of card. The signature and the space around it are clear, but the discoloured card has a smudge on it, and carries traces of previous mount on reverse. At foot of signed side, in pencil:Sir Adrian Boult - Conductor of the B.B.C.Orchestra London / Famous English Conductor'. See Image.

Robinson is concerned, as he sent 'the corrected proofs and copy of index some time ago quite a fortnight, I should say': 'Have you not received them? Please wire on receipt of this, if you can find them: though I am afraid they may have got lost at this end, as several letters did lately.' If need be, he has 'duplicate proofs and could correct these sharp and I have rough copy of most of the index too'. If informed 'at once', he can 'set to work'. From the Grant Richards papers.

Contemporary duplicated typescript, from the Christopher Fry papers. 14pp, 8vo. Each page on a separate leaf. In fair condition, lightly aged. Fry's introductory talk is present in its entirety on pp.1-5, this is followed by an unpaginated page, then pp.8-15 with p.[10] also unpaginated. Hence p.6 or p.7, beginning the extracts from the play, would appear to be absent. On the front page, between the heading and transmission details is: 'Rehearsal: Thursday 4th June 1953: 10.00 onwards | Recording: Thursday 4th June 1953: 12.15 - 1.00 p.m. 3A | Recording of Insert: [BLANK]'. Fry's talk - apparently unpublished, astute and all the more revealing because addressed to a younger audience - is preceded by 'ANNOUNCER: This is the BBC Home Service for Schools. Religion and Philosophy. Today Christopher Fry speaks about his play "A Sleep of Prisoners". Mr. Fry.' Fry begins his talk: 'It's interesting - at least, it's interesting to me - what apparently accidental things go to the making of a play. I always begin by feeling it's very improbable that I shall ever write anything. My mind is a vacuum: and then nature, abhorring, they tell me, a vacuum, starts to fill it up: very slowly, usually; one little thing at a time; memories I had forgotten I possessed: a chance remark from somebody: all sorts of quite trivial things in my life gather together, fal into line as though they had always meant to, and gradually something which might be said to resemble a play shapes itself in my head. Which shows, perhaps, that nothing that ever happens to you is unimportant.' He proceeds to describe the 'things' that happened to allow him to publish 'A Sleep of Prisoners', with reference to: the 1951 Festival of Britain; Michael MacOwan; Oliver Cromwell; Fry's move during the war to a cottage in Oxfordshire. He describes his sudden suggestion to 'Mr. MacOwen': 'I should like the action of the play to be the dreams of the prisoners. Each man would dream in turn, and would dream of himself and the other men. Naturally each man's opinion of himself and of the others would be different: no two people have exactly the same opinion of you or of me; and so in this way, if we had four prisoners, each actor would have four versions of himself to act, each character would be seen from four different points of view. Tea-time came to an end, Mr. MacOwen had to leave, and that was as far as we had got.' He describes how, a few weeks later, on a single day he developed 'the whole story of the play'. He gives his assessments of the four characters, and describes the a section of the plot, before announcing in the final paragraph: 'The actors are going to play part of this dream for you. The character of Absolom, remember, is David's dream picture of Peter, Peter with all his infuriating qualities uppermost.' He continues his explanation, at one point stating: 'I have tried in this dream to mix the waking and sleeping world together. [.] So to us, the audience, Meadows is awake, and to David he is a figure in a dream. Now let us go into the dream. Absalom has been mocking his father from down in the shadows and now David begins to speak.' The nine-page reading from 'the dream' follows, and by reference to Fry's introduction together with the text of the whole poem it should be possible to establish what, if any, part is lacking.

The material collected here is perhaps unique: it is not clear whether any material relating to Macqueen-Pope's BBC broadcasts has survived elsewhere. It is hard to overestimate the significance of 'Popie' to the history of the London stage. Other items from among his papers offered seperately attest to the regard in which he was held by both actors and those behind the scenes, as the foremost chronicler of a cherished era that was quickly passing into oblivion. His entry in the Oxford DNB describes how, in the 1950s, he was 'in demand as a lecturer on the theatrical subjects he loved, and he appeared often in the same capacity on radio and on television. Ironically he regarded these two forms of public entertainment, and television in particular, as representing a serious threat to the survival of theatre, about which he cared passionately'. A total of twenty-seven items; comprising 15 BBC radio scripts by MP, with an additional five earlier drafts of some of them, together with two TLsS to MP from Mary Treadgold of the BBC Overseas Service, two carbons of notes from MP to Treadgold, and three typed music lists by MP for the particular broadcasts. Fifteen of the items (Five and Seven to Twenty), comprising eleven scripts and earlier drafts of four of them, are from a series of 'Theatre Songs and Stories by W. Macqueen-Pope', broadcast on the BBC Overseas Service in 1951. (The other scripts would appear to have been broadcast on the same channel at the same time.) Apart from Item Six, which is worn and chipped but with text complete, the material is in good overall condition, with the inevitable slight aging and wear, and with slight rust-staining from paperclips. All items in 4to except for Five and Six, which are foolscap 8vo, and a total of 131pp. Items Thirteen and Eighteen incomplete; the other twenty-five items complete. ONE and TWO: Two drafts of 'Half a Century of Musical Comedy / Script and Narration by W. Macqueen-Pope', both headed 'Broadcast'. Both 16pp. Undated, but from 1951, as states that 1894 was '57 years ago'. The second, a black ink carbon, incorporates the typed emendations in the first, a blue-ink carbon. THREE. 'Bring Back Harlequin'. Dated 27 December 1951 and headed 'Broadcast'. 7pp, with pencil emendations. FOUR: 'Music From the Theatre by W. Macqueen-Pope.' Headed 'Broadcast'. 4pp. FIVE. 'Theatre Songs and Stories by W. Macqueen-Pope', concerning 'The Gaiety Theatre, London'. In top right-hand corner of first page: '(Rough specimen of Broadcast).' 5pp, foolscap 8vo. SIX. '1 Memories of Olympia by W. Macqueen-Pope.' 4pp, foolscap 8vo. (Items Seven to Twenty are all headed 'Theatre Songs and Stories by W. Macqueen-Pope.' with 'Broadcast' at top left of first page.) SEVEN and EIGHT. Two drafts of 'No. 2. Theatre Royal, Drury Lane'. Both headed '2nd Broadcast'. The earlier, 4pp; the later, also 4pp, with 'Broadcast' at head of first page by MP in pencil, and carrying a couple of pencil emendations. Both drafts refer to the recent death of Ivor Novello, the first describing him as 'an immortal' whose 'music will be played so long as there remains a British audience to listen to it'. NINE and TEN. Two drafts of 'The Adelphi Theatre'. The earlier, 8pp, with additional leaf carrying typed note headed 'Broadcast Inset after 'Nymph Errant'; the later, 5pp, abridged and rewritten, but incorporating the 'Inset'. (Regarding 'The Quaker Girl' MP writes: 'A wonderful show for the wonderful nights of a wonderful period. That first night on 5th November 1910 was a triumph for all concerning and sitting in the stalls with his bride and applauding as enthusiastically as anyone was a young politician named Winston Churchill.') ELEVEN. 'The Alhambra. Leicester Square.' 4pp. Pencil emendation. TWELVE and THIRTEEN. 'Daly's Theatre'. 4pp; with first page only of later draft, with minor pencil emendations. FOURTEEN. 'The Holborn Empire'. Dated 21 November 1951. 5pp. FIFTEEN and SIXTEEN. Two drafts of 'The Palace Theatre'. Th.
