Glyndebourne - a Celebration
London, Jonathan Cape. 1984, First Edition. (ISBN: 0224019058). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. xii + 172 pages. 20 illustrations. 28 plates. This richly entertaining book celebrates the 50th anniversary, in 1984, of the founding of Glyndebourne Festival Opera. It is a splendid mixture of historical survey, personal anecdote, criticism and comedy. Above all, emanating from every piece is a genuine affection for Glyndebourne and its founder John Christie, admiration for its style and musical standards, gratitude for opportunities given to artists, conductors, designers and audiences, for musical experiences and pleasure, and sheer delight - a recurring refrain of the book - in the atmosphere of the place. EMI Records advertisement for Glyndebourne Festival Opera 1934-1959 - memories of the first 25 years, HMV Record - is loosely inserted. 12. Fine/Very Good.

Typed Letter Signed by George Robey, to Novelist Hall Caine, About a Manuscript Contribution for a Charity Auction.
London: June 7th 1917. 1917. - Single-spaced typed letter written from the Hippodrome, London and filling one side of the event letterhead,10-1/4 inches high by 8 inches wide, for "George Robey's Concert in aid of The Metropolitan and City Police Orphanage at the Palladium". Signed "Yours sincerely / George Robey". The edges of the letterhead are chipped & slightly darkened. There are some crosses in the left margin emphasizing one paragraph of the letter, made by either Robey or the recipient. Good.
George Robey writes to novelist Hall Caine profusely thanking him for sending him the manuscript of an Address to be read at the charity event, and for having it bound for auction. "I have asked [Mr. Sutcliffe] to be kind enough to let you have it first, in order that you may put your signature on the title page..I will get Miss Vanbrugh [who is to read the address] to sign it on Sunday, and also put my own name and any other people connected with the concert who may be of interest..I feel sure that in addition to helping the collection that night your generous gift will realise a large sum on its own account.."
George Robey [1869-1954], English comedian, singer and actor in musical comedy, is regarded as one of the greatest music hall performers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Hall Caine [1853-1931 was a Manx author best known as a novelist and playwright. In his day he was extremely popular and his novels outsold those of his contemporaries. His works were mainly romances but also addressed some of the more serious political and social issues of his time. Good .
