[Tyrone Power I, celebrated Irish actor.] Seven items: two drafts of Typed Article on him for 'Everybody's' magazine by theatre historian W. Macqueen-Pope, with page proof of the same, and related correspondence and other items.

From the Macqueen-Pope papers. See his entry, and that of Power, in the Oxford DNB. The seven items are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. ONE: Typed article titled ‘The Other Tyrone Power / by / W. Macqueen-Pope.’ Undated. 11pp, 4to, paginated 1-9, with two-page ‘Inset’. With a few minor autograph emendations. Begins: ‘At the present moment, Mr Tyrone Power, “in person”, is appearing at the London Coliseum in a play called “Mr Roberts”. [...] The fact is that there was another Tyrone Power, who was a very celebrated actor indeed in his time.’ TWO: Another copy of Item One, but without any autograph emendations. THREE: Page proof of MP’s article, stamped ‘19 AUG 1950 / EVERYBODY’S’. 1p, folio, with small square of paper with additional text attached at foot, and proof of a cartoon titled ‘Ferrier’s Searchlight (critical of Noel Coward’s play ‘Ace of Clubs’). FOUR: TLS to MP from Sidney Gordon, Features Editor. 1p, small 4to. He informs him that the editor ‘Mr Poke’ (Greville Poke, 1912-2000, who also has an Oxford DNB entry) ‘would very much like to go ahead with it. / It would certainly tie-up with “Mister Roberts” and perhaps you would send the MS in to us as soon possible’. FIVE: Carbon of TL from MP to ‘Mr. Gordon’, 28 July 1950. He is enclosing the article, with suggestions for illustrations, including photos of the film star by Angus McBean. SIX: Typed acknowledgement of receipt of article ‘The other Tyrone Power’. On printed envelope addressed to ‘Macqueen Pope, Esquire., / 359 Strand, / W.C.2.’ 1p, 12mo. SEVEN: Carbon of Typed Letter from MP to‘Mrs Guthrie’. 3 October 1950. 1p, 4to. He is especially grateful to her for her informative letter, as he would ‘like to put this actor who has been so neglected into some sort of proper recognition and remembrance’. He discusses the colour of Power’s hair before concluding ‘I know Mr Tyrone Guthrie but never knew of his connection with Power.’ Postscript: ‘Besides my work in the Theatre and at Drury Lane, I am a theatre historian with a fair amount of books to my credit.’
