Kurt Weill on Stage : From Berlin to Broadway

The song is 'Mack the Knife' the number-one song of Weill's internationally famous Threepenny Opera originally performed on a stage in the Weimar Berlin of 1928. Its tough sexy sound became a quarter-century later a signature song of America's greatest recording stars among them Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. And when in 1933 Weill already Germany's most renowned composer fled the Nazis to come to America. he joined his appetite for the United States to his European roots and classical training and soon became one of the most admired composers of the American musical stage. He wrote one successful Broadway show after another - Lady in the Dark Knickerbocker Holiday One Touch of Venus Street Scene Lost in the Stars among others. He worked with such theatrical greats as Gertrude Lawrence Ira Gershwin Maxwell Anderson Mary Martin Agnes de Mille Joshua Logan Ogden Nash Harold Clurman Walter Huston E. Y. Harburg and Elia Kazan. Always at the center of his life was his great love of thirty years his leading lady interpreter of his music his wife they were divorced in Berlin in 1933 but remarried four years later in America the actress-singer Lotte Lenya. Foster Hirsch using Weill's letters journals and notes and interviewing Weill's friends and colleagues writes about his life his experimental political composing in Germany his Broadway music in America - both aspects of his work being a source of controversy among music lovers for years." .

An Joseph Schreyvogel (1768-1832), Leiter des Wiener Burgtheaters von 1814 bis 1832: "Euer Wohlgeboren empfangen meinen herzlichsten Glückwunsch zum neuen Jahre. Möchte dasselbe Sie mit dem vollsten Genusse der Gesundheit beglücken und mich - mit der Rückkehr Ihrer Gewogenheit. Womit ich diese verscherzte, weiß ich nicht, aber verscherzt muß ich Sie wohl haben, wie hätte ich sonst anderthalb Jahre von meinem Leben verloren, ohne weiter zu sein, als ich bin? Sie waren so gütig, mir Talent zuzugestehen und unser allergnädigster Kaiser selbst hat dieses Ihr Urtheil durch allerhöchst Seine Zufriedenheit mit meinem jugendlichen Streben zu bestätigen geruht. Warum also diese unerhörte Zurücksetzung und Verkürzung meines Talentes? Ich mag mir Übereilungen, Missgriffe, Unbekommenheiten vorzuwerfen haben - ich will sie nicht entschuldigen, aber wer darf seine Jugend frei davon sprechen? Schlechtes, und folglich des k. k. Hofburgtheaters Unwürdiges, habe ich mir nicht vorzuwerfen […]".

Hirst, Damien
Is Mr Death In?
Paperback. Second draft. Two paper covers and contents attached by a plastic edger. Title is an anagram of Damien Hirst. Script of a short film by Damien Hirst, whose eventual title was 'Hanging Around'. The film features a dreamy, duffle-coated figure known as Marcus Hellman, a kind of unwitting but increasingly witting terminator - a serial killer, or serial assister in death. His victims are turned into road rash, wrapped around lampposts, pitched out of windows; they slit their wrists, stick their heads in the oven, go up in flames. Minor shelf-wear on covers. Covers are bumped, affecting early pages. A few pale stains on covers. Some creasing on upper covers. Four small abrasions just below upper edge of front cover. Several white marks on rear cover. Leading corners are a little worn and creased. One or two very small marks and bumps on pages. Text is clear. AF Used

Hitchcock, Alfred, English film director and producer (1899-1980).
Sketches with autograph annotations: storyboard for "Stage Fright". No place, [circa 1949].
340 pencil drawings, drawn by Alfred Hitchcock, one drawing highlighted in blue, each sheet with three boxes (or cells) with 3 pencil sketches, 46 cells are left blank and 22 drawings were crossed out. Numbering in the left-hand margin in pencil and red crayon (1-152, 240-293, plus 8 leaves numbered in Roman numerals at the end for the final scenes: pursuit in the theatre; decapitation by the theatre's security curtain and final scene), autograph annotations, directions and revisions throughout, one or two "camera angle" diagrams sketched out on left-hand pages. In all 130 loose sheets (208 x 262 mm), in pencil, mostly only recto, but three leaves are drawn also on verso. Sketch of a profile behind scenes 103 and 104; sketch of a stage setting behind scenes 98 A, 98 B and 99. Original black cloth folder-binder, blindstamped with paper label on the front cover and inscription "J. Martin" in faded red ink and "Stage Fright / R. Todd / M. Dietrich / M. Wilding" in blue ink. Preserved in a fitted case. Extraordinary autograph pre-production storyboard for Hitchcock's 1950 film "Stage Fright", comprising preparatory sketches for some three quarters of the film, including the infamous "false flashback" initial sequence, the rest of the first half of the film, the garden party scene and the finale. A rare collection of sketches and comments detailing how the legendary director crafted his scenes. - "Stage Fright" is a 1950 British noir thriller directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Jane Wyman, Marlene Dietrich, Michael Wilding, and Richard Todd. The film was shot in London and Elstree in 1949, on a brief sojourn from California where Hitchcock had been working since 1940, and in some ways it was a return to the style (and humour) of his earlier British films. The crime thriller, centered on a killer who dupes a woman friend into helping him try to escape police after he murdered his actress lover's husband, was much criticised on release for the extraordinary "unreliable flashback" or "false flashback" scene, which Hitchcock famously considered his second greatest career mistake (after the death of the little boy in "The Secret Agent"). Posterity has been rather kinder: the device has influenced later generations of filmmakers more interested in artifice than truth, and the film as a whole has seen a partial critical reassessment in recent years. - Hitchcock had trained as a draughtsman and worked in advertising before turning to film, and his use of extensive storyboards, down to the finest detail of production, is well known. One of the myths to have built up around his career maintains that, after planning and storyboarding his films so thoroughly, once on set Hitchcock never so much as peeked through the camera viewfinder, bearing each scene from start to finish precisely in his head. - The sketches for "Stage Fright" include very precise directions for the actors and for camera angles which would have left the crew with little room for imagination ("pan up from stain", "CU" (close-up), "Dolly in to a dolly", "Back to Eve. Pan then out until the couple are in waist-shot going through the door"). Some of the most memorable shots of the film were clearly planned in advance and can be seen here: the car driving up to the camera at the beginning, the first shot of Alistair Sim framed in a lead window, the blood-stained dress shots, the blurring as Doris Tinsdale tries on her glasses, the umbrellas at the garden party and the finale with the stage curtain. But at the same time there are significant differences from the finished film, and this storyboard demonstrates that sequences and shots were dropped, added or amended during production. - The production files for all the other post-1940 films are in the Hitchcock Archives at the Margaret Herrick Library, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Beverley Hills. - In excellent condition throughout notwithstanding one or two dampstains; the last few leaves a little creased and frayed at edges. Provenance: 1) Jack Martin (1899-1969), first assistant director on "Stage Fright" (his credits also include assistant director on "Moby Dick" and production manager on "This Happy Breed"); 2) Hugh Harlow (b. 1939), assistant director and production manager on many films. - Includes a signed portrait photograph of Hitchcock at work on the storyboard drawings of his first American film, "Rebecca", in mid-1939, with Daphne du Maurier's novel opened before him and strewn with the cards on which the director would set out in sketched illustrations every detail of the film as he envisaged it.
