No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Original postcard shows Clark's color portrait photo signed and inscribed by Petula Clark as 'Tres amicalement'. 15x11 cm. In French. The most commercially successful female singer in British chart history, Petula Clark was born November 15, 1932, in Epsom, England. Trained to sing by her soprano mother, Clark embarked on a stage career at the age of seven; soon she was a fixture on British radio programs and began hosting her own regular show, Pet's Parlour -- a series spotlighting patriotic songs designed to boost the morale of wartime audiences -- at the tender age of 11. After entertaining British troops alongside fellow child stars Julie Andrews and Anthony Newley, Clark made her film debut with A Medal for the General in 1944. By the dawn of the '50s she was a superstar throughout the U.K., with a résumé of close to two-dozen films; 1954's "The Little Shoemaker" was her first Top 20 single, while 1960's "Sailor" was her first chart-topper. Still, Clark struggled with her inability to shed her adolescent image. After selling over a million copies of 1961's "Romeo," she married and relocated to France, establishing a strong fan base there on the strength of hits including "Ya-Ya Twist," "Chariot," and "Monsieur," which spotlighted a new, more sophisticated pop sound anchored by her crystalline vocals. Riding the wave of the British Invasion, Clark was finally able to penetrate the U.S. market in 1964 with the Grammy-winning "Downtown," the first single by a British woman ever to reach number one on the American pop charts. It was also the first in a series of American Top Ten hits (most written and arranged by Tony Hatch) that also included 1965's "I Know a Place" and 1966's "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love," and the number one smash "My Love." At the same time, she remained a huge star throughout Europe, topping the British charts in 1967 with "This Is My Song," taken from the film A Countess from Hong Kong. In addition to hosting her own BBC series, she also starred in the 1968 NBC television special Petula, which triggered controversy when sponsors requested that a segment with guest Harry Belafonte be cut in deference to Southern affiliates; ultimately, the show aired in its intended form. As the '60s drew to a close, Clark's commercial stature slipped, although singles like "Don't Sleep on the Subway," "The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener," and "Kiss Me Goodbye" still charted on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1968, she revived her film career by starring in Finian's Rainbow, followed a year later by Goodbye, Mr. Chips. In later years, Clark focused primarily on international touring, headlining the 1981 London revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's The Sound of Music; after starring in the 1990 musical Someone Like You, which she also co-wrote, she made her Broadway debut in Blood Brothers in 1993. Additionally, in 1988, an acid house remix of "Downtown" reached the U.K. Top Ten, another honor for the female singer awarded the most gold records in British pop history. Throughout the 2000s, Clark toured fairly steadily across the globe. Her 2002 shows in France at the Olympia were recorded and released on CD and DVD, but no new studio recordings were forthcoming until she teamed with Irish band the Saw Doctors for a new version of "Downtown" in 2011. Soon after, she began working with producer John Williams on an album. Made up of newly written songs and covers, as well as a new take on "Downtown," Lost in You was issued in early 2013. Just three years later, Clark returned with another studio album, From Now On, which featured several newly penned compositions as well as covers of classic numbers by the Beatles, Steve Winwood, and Peggy Lee. In October 2016, Clark set out on a U.K. tour in support of the album. That same year also saw the release of Natural Love: The Scotti Brothers Recordings, a collection of the country- and pop-oriented material Clark cut in the '80s. A French-language album, Vu D'ici, arrived in. Signed by Author(s).

From the Macqueen-Pope papers. (See his entry in the Oxford DNB.) Both items in fair condition, lightly aged and creased. Pinned together. ONE: DM to MP. Signed 'Mollie and Donovan Maule. / (Mollie Shiells)', but the husband is clearly the author. 1p, 4to. Folded twice for postage. He thanks him for his 'inspiring book' on the Haymarket Theatre. 'My wife and I (both ex-Haymarket artists) feel inseminated ith fresh optimism and jope while battling with the municipal authorities and Kenya Government to establish the first professional theatre ever known here. To read of the early struggles and ultimate triumphs of many of The Little Theatre in the Hay's determined pioneers - people like the two Colmans, Webster, and Buckstone - has lifted our hearts and spurred us to fresh endeavour. A copy of this book shall be our daughter Annabel's Christmas-present this year.' He asks him to make a reference to the play 'Havoc' in future editions ('& it deserves to run into several'): 'I noticed its unintentional omission particularly because it was in that play that I made my first appearance at the Haymarket, where incidentally my wife beat me to it with "The Blue Bird" in 1910.' He ends with renewed thanks for 'a fine book'. TWO: MP to DM. 1p, 4to. Although the book has 'received a magnificent press it has done the least well of all my books, which I attribute to the fact that people today, if slightly interested in the Theatre as a whole have little interest in individual theatres - unless it is Drury Lane, for my history of that is a best seller. The next i[s] "Gaiety" - due next month, so we shall see. But "Carriages at Eleven" and "Twenty Shillings in the Pound" have sold like smoke.' He will take up DM's request with the publishers.

Letter, docketed 'Mrs Honey', addressed to ' Esqre | York - Leeds - or Hull | Theatre Royal'. Three pages, quarto. Good, though aged and creased, and with small section cut away on breaking seal. Text clear and complete. Small strip of mount adhering to one edge. Interesting and intriguing letter addressed to 'Dearest Papa' and beginning 'Barnett has never been near me nor do I know where to find him - write by return and tell me where I commence and what you would like me to '. Ends by saying she is 'very busy indeed just now'. Signed 'Laura'. There follows a list, ending 'I can just think of these', of what appear to be the titles of eighteen songs, plays or burlettas (e.g. '70 and 17', 'She wants a Guardian' [with the note 'Barnett to read'], 'Womans the devil', 'Barrack room', 'Beulah Spa', 'Midas', 'Day in Paris', 'The British Legion' [with note 'very good']. The engraved portrait, roughly five inches by three and a half, is of Mrs Honey from the waist up, in country costume, with straw hat and straw basket on her arm, holding a flower. It is on what would seem to be the title leaf of a piece of sheet music (roughly ten inches by eight and a half; aged and frayed, with a couple of closed tears repaired with archival tape), and has the engraved title 'THE YOUNG COQUETTE. | THE CELEBRATED BALLAD, | Sung with the most flattering and enthusiastic applause by | MRS. HONEY, | to whom it is most respectfully dedicated by | The Composer | LOUIS LEO.'.

Both items on 'Bebe' letterheads, and both with signature 'Bebe' incorporating a drawing of a stick figure with hat. Letter One: 12mo, 1 p. Twelve lines. Good, on lightly-aged paper. With addressed envelope. She is sorry they missed one another 'at the station, especially after all the trouble you went through to get there'. Gives news of show: 'Boy, it will be good to get back to town again. | I have enjoyed the tour but as you know travelling nowadays isn't what it used to be, by a long shot.' Letter Two: 8vo, 1 p. 21 lines. She makes an excuse for not meeting: 'I was feeling so ill that I just had to get home right after the show, and you are so sweet that I knew you would understand.' Suggests supper 'at the Jewish Restaurant you were telling Ben about'. Of an injury to Colleano's finger she writes 'Anyway, it gave you a chance to sing!'.
