Majorca: N.p., 1959. 4pp. ALS, secured with staple to top left corner. Faint horizontal creases consistent with having been folded in to an envelope (not present). Very well preserved. 4pp. ALS FROM JACK WARNER TO FELLOW DIXON OF DOCK GREEN ACTOR ANTHONY PARKER, WISHING HIM WELL ON HIS DEPARTURE FROM THE SHOW. The BBC TV show Dixon of Dock Green ran from 1955 to 1976, for a total of 432 episodes. Jack Warner, who played Dixon, appeared in every single one. The character first appeared in the 1950 film The Blue Lamp, where Warner's kindly bobby was famously shot dead by a hoodlum played by the young Dirk Bogarde. The character was resurrected for a stage show the following year which was co-written by Ted Willis. It was Willis who supervised the transfer to television, and between 1955 and 1963 he wrote 201 episodes of the show. Anthony Parker joined the show in 1957 to play the naive young recruit PC Bob Penney, and stayed for two years before leaving in an attempt to avoid typecasting. (His…

N.p. [New York]: N.p., N.d. [1950]. 10 pp. loose leaf, corrected typescript, rectos only, business card to top left of p.2. Two pages in each of five acid-free plastic sleeves, the whole housed in a red plastic binder. First page heavily browned, others lightly age-toned. Very well preserved. AMENDED TYPESCRIPT OF THE SHORT STORY Mr. McGEE'S BIG DAY, PREPARED FOR ITS PUBLICATION IN ELLERY QUEEN MAGAZINE. UNSIGNED, BUT WITH THE CARD OF WODEHOUSE'S AGENT SCOTT MEREDITH AFFIXED TO TOP LEFT OF SECOND PAGE. Wodehouse managed to smuggle his way into Ellery Queen, a magazine rather more hard-boiled than his usual outlets, with this story of how a hotel detective's day goes rapidly downhill when he recognises in the lobby a face from his crime-fighting past. The typescript has a small number of minor textual amendments, possibly Wodehouse's, and many pencilled editorial and typesetting instructions in an unknown hand. The story was never reprinted or anthologised. Published as McIlvaine D21.1
