- Title:
- Cox-Ife Bequest to D'Oyly Carte Archive: Draft Text for 'The Gilbert and Sullivan Song Book'
- Scope & Content:
-
Two typed drafts of the 'Foreword' to a projected volume of Gilbert and Sullivan 'songs' to be published by Pan Books. Together with Dedication, Contents, Appendices.
The file also includes an undated typed copy letter (2 sheets) from W. A. Mileham (formerly W. Hart Dyke) to Bridget D'Oyly Carte, in response to her wish to have news of him for her records. His reply begins: 'I think it was in 1901 (but am not sure) that I joined a touring company of The Rose of Persia with M. R. Morand as the comedian and Miss Ada Davies as the soprano. I sang in the chorus and did a solo dance in that. At the end of the tour I was offered a vacancy in the chorus at the Savoy which I very gladly accepted.'
For further information about the book project, which was eventually cancelled by Pan, see the associated correspondence in Add MS 89231/25/42.
For Cox-Ife's draft piano scores of the selected songs, see Add MS 89231/25/53-4.
