The three items (two letters from Peter Opie to MacQueen-Pope and carbon copy of his reply to the first of these) are in fair condition, on aged and lightly-creased paper, with a slight nick at the head of the first letter. Inspired by the recent publication of MP's 'The Melody Lingers On: The Story of Music Hall' (1950), Opie w…rites to MP via his publishers W. H. Allen & Co, and signs both letters 'Peter Opie.' MP writes to Opie at Rockbourne House. ONE: TLS from Opie to MP. 20 January 1951. 1p, 4to. He has been 'absorbed this last week' in MP's 'detailed and fascinating account of Music Hall', and as editor with his wife of the forthcoming 'Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes' asks MP to elucidate two points, the first relating to John Dunn, Thomas D. Rice and the song 'Jump Jim Crow'; the second with relation to 'the splendid Concanen sheet' of the Great Macdermott's song 'Jeremiah, blow the fire'. Regarding the second point he writes: 'Since we have only found this rhyme in the nursery in the 20th century, it looks as if it is a memory of Macdermott's song. We would be considerably indebted to you if you could give us the original words of this song. I am afraid the sheet is not in the British Museum. I wonder, also, if you have any idea of its date? Judging by the name of the composer, and the style of Concanen's drawing, I should say some time before 1880. What would you?' He ends in concurring with 'the reviewer in the T.L.S.' that MP is being unduly modest 'in disclaiming that you have written a definitive history of the Halls. It is difficult to imagine a more comprehensive work on the subject, unless, of course, you yourself intend a further and "definitive" history'. TWO: Unsigned Carbon of TL from MP to Opie. 23 January 1951. 1p, 4to. He gives information about James Dunn, one of whose popular 'turns' was 'the performance of "Jim Crow" - which had been invented or copied from the American negroes by Thomas D. Rice [.] Another expert in this curious act was Yates, an actor-manager who ruled the Adelphi Theatre for some years from 1825'. He gives a long anecdote about Yates performing the 'turn' on the hustings, after being caught voting Tory at an election ('they disapproved of actors showing political favour'). Regarding 'Jeremiah, blow the fire', MP only has the cover of the song, the rest having possibly become detached. He will 'have it searched for. Meanwhile I think Francis Day and Hunter could help you with the words and date. It was originally published by Francis Brothers and Day - so they will have a record.' THREE: TLS from Opie to MP. 25 January 1951. 1p, landscape 12mo. Thanking MP for his 'helpful letter'. 'Were we not already in page proof I should seek to include some of your further anecdotes about Jim Crow. It seems to have had a famous history. Bernard Shaw told us the dance was also a great favourite of Barry Sullivan's. I would like to see someone do it now.' He will 'write to Mr. Abbott immediately'.

An exceptionally rare and unusual French children's game using small metal boomerangs to knock down pins with an unusual launching apparatus. The game was manufactured in France, most likely for the British market around 1900. The title on the cover reads- "Boomerang. Breveté S.G.D.G. A C". The initials "S.G.D.G." are an abbrevi…ation of "sans garantie du gouvernement" meaning it is sold without government guarantee and is a legal phrase under the patent law. There is nothing else marked that might indicate the maker. It is housed in its original box, covered with decorative brown paper imitating crocodile skin, a metal handle on the side, and the titles printed in silver in an Art Nouveau style. The object of the game is to launch the boomerangs at the painted wooden pins that can be set up in the lid of the opened box. The box lid is lined with green napped fabric with the triangular position of the pins marked, somewhat akin to bowling. There are 14 pins, with painted bands, about 2" tall, with the 15th pin missing. The base of the box accommodates the launcher, a small fixed box with sliding drawer titled "Boomerang", perhaps to hold the boomerangs. It is also mounted with a series of red cords fixed to the base, but it's unknown what these are meant to hold. The box measures 12 x 8 ¾ x 2 3/8". There are 6 tin-like small boomerangs, measuring just over 2". (One appears to be a reproduction.) Most unusual is the launching mechanism for the boomerangs. It is made of a turned wooden base with metal workings above. The instrument is 7 ½ " tall and 5 ¾" wide. It's screwed on a fine wood turned base of 2 ¾" diameter. It launcher is powerful, launching the boomerangs about 5-6 feet. The probability of the boomerangs knocking over the pins is negligible, but perfectly poised to poke a child in the eye. It therefore cannot have been a very successful game, further pointing to its rarity. We have been unable to locate another copy - it is likely the only known copy in the world. It is not located on Trove or in the National Library of Australia. We purchased it from a continental dealer who stated that he had bought it years ago from a French leading expert of antique games and toys. He had said that this was the only known copy in the world. Of course, this is difficult to prove, but indicates the rarity in the eyes of the French expert. The box in good working order, slightly rubbed at the leading edges. There is a small circle of wood broken into 3 pieces, detached from the mechanism of the instrument, which does not affect the operating and easily glued. An example of how Australian aboriginal culture entered into the popular culture around the world.
