A Regency mahogany settee, with exposed showframe. Width 225 cm, height to top of back 95 cm, depth of seat 56 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The settee requires recovering. It is however structurally very sound. There are some small areas of cross banding missing to the exterior of the frame approx 4cm in total. The front show frame is in good condition all around. The front right hand leg also. The front left hand leg has had a break and repair to the bottom left hand corner. The repair is very solid but visible. There is a bracing patch to the rear of the leg. This could easily be improved. The rear right hand leg has had a break. This has been well repaired but the break line is visible. This is a minor issue.

I could not but admire the desperate ingenuity with which you have exercised every producer's trick to persuade the audience that the play is Hamlet and Faust rolled into one, instead of being a very American budget of the pessimistic commonplaces of the eighteen-seventies compèred by an unfortunate actor who has to pretend that he is a leading tragedian when he has absolutely no part at all, bar that of compère. The success of your attempt to keep the audience listening to those two appalling bores... stamps you as one of the great producers of the age. But the show must not be given away; so let this be a dead secret between us..." [printed in Bernard Shaw Theatrics: Selected Correspondence of Bernard Shaw, ed. Dan. H. Laurence, 1995, pp. 210-211, no. 155], and blankly refusing Marshall's request to make an introduction to a Soviet film, "No damn it, I write the play; I don't bang the drum outside the booth. WALK UP BY BERNARD SHAW. How would that look? No, Herbert, no..." etc.; and 2 others, one an autograph letter by Shaw's "authorised bibliographer and remembrancer", Dr Fritz Erwin Loewenstein, explaining that Shaw is too busy with "Pascal and big money" to be involved with Citizens Films but that "he will always be interested in less sordid enterprises"; and a TLs by Blanche Patch (Shaw's secretary), providing Gabriel Pascal's address in England and saying that Shaw knows all about Marshall's "Russian apprenticeship and sets great sore by it", fold (14 pieces). ⁂ Herbert Brough Falcon Marshall (1890-1966), actor.
