SAN QUENTINHalf-Sheet (22" x 28")Fine+ on Paper Warner Bros., 1937This rare and beautiful half-sheet, mounted on paper, features lovely images of the players in this film, including Bogart, Sheridan, O'Brien, and Barton MacLane. This style of the half sheet has not been seen in auction previously, that we are aware of.This poster has had general scattered touch-ups addressing previous issues, including fold wear, tears, and chipping, plus the borders have been airbrushed. It presents wonderfully now. Filmed on location at the San Quentin State Prison, this is the story of Joe "Red" Kennedy (Humphrey Bogart), a hardened criminal who is sentenced to prison and runs afoul of fellow inmate "Sailor Boy" Hansen (Joe Sawyer). The two patch up their feud long enough to break from the prison work gang, leading to an explosive confrontation with chief guard Steve Jameson (Pat O'Brien), who is dating Red's sister, Mary (Anne Sheridan). Bogart was still a rising star at this time - he received second billing, after O'Brien - a period in which he was pigeonholed in gangster roles. Nevertheless, this is a great prison picture and a superb role for Bogart, clearly showing his potential for stardom. This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, December 7th. The auction will begin at 9:30am PST and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace.

London Gazette 13 June 1970. The Right Reverend Ambrose Walter Marcus Weekes was born in Queensborough, Kent, in 1919, and was educated at Sir Joseph Williamson’s Mathematical School, Rochester, and King’s College, London. He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Rochester, the Rt. Rev. Christopher Chavasse, O.B.E., M.C. (and the twin brother of Noel Chavasse, V.C. and Bar, M.C.) on 31 May 1942, and Priest the following year, prior to joining the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve as a Chaplain. He served during the Second World War in H.M.S. Drake and during the Korean War in H.M.S. Triumph and, remaining in the Navy, rose through the ecclesiastical ranks, becoming Chaplain of the Fleet - the most senior Chaplain in the Royal Navy - in 1969. Appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath in the 1970 Birthday Honours List, Weekes retired from the Royal Navy in 1972, and was offered the Chaplaincy of Tangier in Morocco. The following year, he left Tangier to become Dean of Gibraltar, from which, in 1977, he was consecrated Suffragan Bishop in the newly created Diocese in Europe (the Diocese which was responsible for all of the Anglican Churches in Continental Europe). Over the next nine years he visited every Capital City in Europe (a large number of which were still behind the Iron Curtain), before retiring in 1986, and becoming the priest of the English Church in Montreux. Here his patch was equally large and diverse, and included the ski resorts of Verbier and St. Moritz (the latter a significant distance from the shore of Lake Geneva!). Finally retiring back to London, Weekes spent the last few years of his life undertaking various cruises, usually on the Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth 2, visiting many of the places he had seen during his time in the Navy or as Bishop in Europe. He died in London on 24 April 2012.

HORSE RACING - A Coalport trophy cup with cover for Pains Lane Races, September 27th 1853, in the form of a two-handled cup and cover with a fruit-pod finial, the claret pink ground painted with horse racing scene and trailing foliage in gilt, the opposing side with gilt inscription, cover with grape finial, base unmarked, overall height 29cm highProvenance: Ivor Southorn Collection. Previously sold at Sotheby's on 23rd November 1993. Sold together with a small amount of photocopied literature and correspondence relating to Pain's Lane Racecourse.Footnote: Pains Lane is the original name for St. George's, a crossroads settlement of squatter-type cottages which sprung up in the eighteenth century on the parish borders of Lilleshall, Shifnal and Wrockwardine Wood. The church, dedicated to St. George, was built in 1806 and there was a market near the crossroads by the 1820s. What was the racecourse, is now the present-day location of St. George's Primary School. Pains Lane meetings took place between 1840 - 1859 before continuing from 1860 - 1874 as St. George's Races. Racing had a considerable following among the miners and ironworkers of the Coalbrookdale coalfield, but this is the only known meeting to have taken place in the coalfield itself.Each winner of the race would be awarded a purse of ten sovereigns together with a Coalport trophy cup, which was valued at £10 in 1845. It is believed that twenty-six cups were offered in total, the last of which was in 1869. The winner of this 1853 Coalport cup, 'Le Juif', was owned by Mr Joseph T. Phillips. Phillips farmed over 300 acres at Donnington Wood and also held property in Hadley. Prior to his win, he had regular involvement with the races including acting as steward, committeeman and a judge. Mr Phillips would go on to also win two further trophies in the 1865 and 1866 St. George's Races.Condition:Small underside foot rim chip.
