Laurel further informs his correspondent '[Fred] Karno sent a troupe out to South Africa a few weeks ago & Billie Moran went with them….' and also writes 'Hope you rec'd the last letter from Los Angeles also the Music. I haven't got the “Performer Annual” yet. Just my luck. I suppose its been mislaid', continuing to remark 'Well we are playing in the Mormon City this week, I'm afraid I shall have to stay behind & become a prophet'. In a postscript Laurel asks 'Why not drop Karno a line now & then? You might get a chance you know!'. Autograph letters of Laurel from this early stage of his career are exceptionally rare and desirable.

BEATLES THE: A rare and highly unusual set of individual signatures by each member of The Beatles, all with interesting holograph additions, comprising John Lennon ('John Lennon', also adding his address '251 Menlove Ave' and nationality as 'Catholic' in his hand alongside his signature), Paul McCartney ('Paul McCartney', also adding his address '20 Forthlin Rd, L'Pool' and nationality as 'British' in his hand alongside his signature), George Harrison ('George Harrison', also adding his address '174 Mackets Lane, Woolton, Liverpool 25' and nationality as 'British' in his hand alongside his signature) and Ringo Starr (in the rarer form using his real name 'Richard Starkey', also adding his address '10 Admiral Grove, L/Pool 8' and nationality as 'Jew' in his hand alongside his signature), the signatures appearing together on a partially printed large oblong folio page removed from a Visitor's book belonging to the Arden and Cobden Hotels Ltd. The page is dated Tuesday, 4th June 1963 in an unidentified hand at the head and also features the signatures and holograph entries of sixteen other individuals, some of them also famous pop singers of the 1960s or others associated with The Beatles including Neil Aspinall (1941-2008, English Music Industry Executive, a school friend of McCartney and Harrison whom The Beatles employed as their road manager and personal assistant and who went on to head the band's Apple Corp), Gerry Marsden (1942- , English Musician, lead singer of Gerry and the Pacemakers; signed 'Gerard Marsden'), his brother Fred Marsden (1940-2006, English Drummer with Gerry and the Pacemakers; signed 'Frederick John Marsden' in block letters, also providing his address and nationality as 'Chinese Hare'), Les Chadwick (1943- , English Bassist with Gerry and the Pacemakers; signed 'John Leslie Chadwick' in block letters, also providing his address and nationality as 'Outer Hebridean'), Les Maguire (1941- , English Pianist with Gerry and the Pacemakers; signed 'Leslie Charles Maguire' in block letters, also providing his address and nationality as 'Eskimo Rabbit'), Les Hurst (Roadie to Gerry and the Pacemakers who occasionally stood in for Aspinall when he was unwell). To the final column of the page appears the room number occupied by each of the guests and it is interesting to note that McCartney and Starr shared room 103 and Lennon and Harrison shared room 121, Aspinall however was given his own room (106) and his colleague Hurst shared a room with the two Marsden brothers. Some light overall age wear, most evident at the central vertical folds, and some light creasing and small areas of paper loss to the edges, none of which significantly affect any of the signatures, about G The present page was evidently removed from the Visitors book of one of the three Birmingham hotels which were owned by Arden and Cobden Hotels Ltd. Interestingly, all were temperance hotels because they were unlicensed and did not serve alcohol. The Beatles performed at Birmingham Town Hall on 4th June 1963 as part of their concert tour alongside Roy Orbison. It was Orbison's first and The Beatles third nationwide tour of the United Kingdom and although Orbison was originally intended to be the headline act, such had been the public's reaction to the Fab Four that they were promoted to co-headliners and also closed the set in the tradition of a headlining act. The present set of signatures are of particular interest for the association it illustrates with the bands famous roots in Liverpool. Lennon resided at 251 Menlove Avenue during his childhood having moved there in July 1946, aged five, in order to live with his Aunt Mimi and her husband. He was to move out in 1963 shortly after signing the present registration page. The property was bought by Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, in 2002 and donated to the National Trust and in 2012 the property was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage. McCartney and his family moved into 20 Forthlin Road in 1955 whilst the future Beatle was at secondary school and the property, also a Grade II listed building, is now in the ownership of the National Trust and has been labelled by them as 'the birthplace of The Beatles' since it was the place where the band composed and rehearsed their earliest songs. Harrison's home at Mackets Lane was the third property that he lived in, moving there in August 1962. He and his family remained there until 1965. Starr occupied 10 Admiral Grove from the age of six, and the house was situated in a working class area of Liverpool, just around the corner from his birthplace. As is evident from the entries made on the registry page, the musicians would appear to have been in a jovial mood following their concert, particularly some of the members of Gerry Marsden's band who have made frivolous remarks regarding their nationalities. However, it is noteworthy that Lennon has referred to himself as a Catholic - he was actually raised as an Anglican and attended St. Peter's Anglican church in Woolton Village, South Liverpool, where he occasionally sang in the choir. However, Lennon had abandoned his childhood religious beliefs by 1964, soon after the date of the present signature. In March 1966 Lennon famously proclaimed that The Beatles had become 'more popular than Jesus' and, following the break-up of the band, he continued to reject religion. His single Imagine is widely viewed as an 'atheist anthem'. Perhaps more interesting, however, is Starr's claim on the present page that he was a Jew. In fact he attended an Evangelical Anglican church during his childhood, although has constantly been referred to as having a Jewish heritage throughout his life. This myth became so pervasive in 1964 that the drummer received death threats from ant-Semites before playing a concert in Montreal. Genuinely fearing for his life, Starr was accompanied by a bodyguard throughout the performance and went on to make a reference to the incident in the Beatles Anthology, the authorised biography of the band which was published in 2000. Starr recounted 'Some people decided to make an example of me, as an English Jew', continuing, 'The one major fault is I'm not Jewish'.

REMBRANDT HARMENSZ. VAN RIJN (1606-1669) The Ringball player ('Het Klosbaantje'), etching, 1654, 9.4 x 13.9cm, on paper with countermark of double-wired letters D M (not recorded by Hinterding), the sheet 10.2 x 14.8cm. Notes: Bartsch 125; Hinterding & Rutgers (New Hollstein) 282, first state of two. Provenance: Naudet, Marchand d'Estampes au Louvre (Lugt 1937), ink inscription verso (very faded). With John Baskett, 173 New Bond Street, London The late Mrs Joan Beale; previously on loan to the Ashmolean Museum. A very good impression, probably contemporary (the second state is not). With margins and in good condition. This impression is also cited by Hinterding & Rutgers when on loan to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (L11056.1). Although the print used to be called 'The Golf Player' (from 'kolef'), the man in the foreground is sitting out his turn from the ringball alley in the background, where one man is playing while two others are probably laying bets. The sport was called 'Klossen' (it is still played today but called 'Beugelen'), the Dutch and Flemish word 'klos' being a ball for bowling, and the origin of the mediaeval French and English names of the game, Cloishe or Closh. There is a famous engraving of Louis XIV playing an early form of billiards with his courtiers, with an iron hoop to aim the balls through, rather than pockets, and with a cue with a scooped end, a refined version of the one seen in the etching; so billiards evolved, in fact, as a table-top adaptation of ringball.(Lots 158-170)A fine collection of etchings, drawings and watercolours until recently on loan to the Ashmolean Museum: This intriguing collection of etchings, drawings and watercolours was gathered together by Jean and Bill Beale. They lived beside the Thames at Chelsea in London through the nineteen sixties and seventies while Bill worked in the Foreign Office. A birthday or a wedding anniversary meant a joyful trip to a central London art dealer to look, reflect and then purchase a drawing or watercolour. Many were bought from New Bond Street art galleries like Colnaghi’s, John Baskett and Richard Day, the renowned central London fine art specialists of this period. This can be seen on the backing to the frames. In later life the Beales moved to a village in Oxfordshire. The subject matter of their pictures reflected their interest in rural England, the Thames and the highest standard of British and European drawing and watercolour painting. In the 1990’s the collection was placed on loan to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which has conserved their fine condition that makes them such a pleasure to look at today. All but two are unframed but professionally re-mounted to museum specification, however the frames with their labels have been preserved and are sold in their respective lots
