"This play is a drastic rewrite of "The Secret of the World" produced in 1962 at the Theatre Royale East Stratford London by Oscar Lewenstein and Michael White.

rif. 22904No place or date but some time after Hassall's death in 1963 and probably written from Fry's house The Toft. 3pp 4to each page on a separate leaf. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Folded once. There is no indication that either item was published nor even that the poem is connected to the 'programme'. If unpublished the poem may have found its way into Fry's papers from Hassall's. The 'programme' - with no title or heading - is two pages long with slight damage from a small staple to corners of both leaves and complete being divided into six numbered sections. Section 1 as first typed begins: After the first two pieces on the programme we are taking the poems more or less chronologically so that we can follow the way that Christopher Hassall went in the search which every poet must take for the voice which would say what he wanted to say.' Fry has cut this in autograph to: 'After the first two pieces on the programme the poems follow more or less chronologically.' He praises the 'furious innocence of concentration' of Hassall's early poem 'The Arrow' 'like a child staring: and with it never very far away the ironic comment of humour.' He describes how Hassall's takes time 'to master his individual voice but when it came it was unmistakable'. Recurring themes in Hassall's work are his Christian faith and love of music. He quotes 'some lines in a poem remembering his boyhood days at a choir school in Tenbury Wells'. He turns to Hassall's love of the theatre his career as an actor on leaving Oxford and writing of 'popular lyrics for Ivor Novello's musicals at Drury Lane'. At this point he adds in autograph: 'And later the libretti for operas: the first of all was perhaps the Troilus and Cressida for William Walton.' At the end of the first section Fry announces two readings from Hassall showing his 'great flair for writing pieces for special occasions'. In the second section he discusses Hassall's 1939 Canterbury Festival play 'Christ's Comet' 'which was performed in the Cathedral chapter-house'. Part 3 announces the beginning of 'this second part of the programme' with Fry adding an autograph note about 'a cyle of 7 lyrics': 'They are all about ways of getting about and with them we are in the atmosphere of the delightful poems for children which were to come later.' The fourth section points out 'a change in manner in some of the poems we are going to read now from the Red Leaf - a change partly brought about perhaps by Hassall's admiration for the poetry of D. H. Lawrence'. The fifth section names humorous and children's poems to be recited. The last section announces the eight sonnets from his posthumous collection 'Bell Harry' which end of the programme with Fry explaining the Canterbury context with reference to the 'old Manor House near Canterbury' in which Hassall ended his days. Accompanying the 'programme' on a leaf of thicker paper is the typescript of an unattributed poem titled 'Pilgrim's Way' 'Pilgrims to the golden shrine Under Canterbury towers Blessed by your wayfaring Through the early English flowers.' divided into two eight-line stanzas each with the refrain: 'Every day a Holy day Riding over Pilgrim's Way.' The poem is presumably by Hassall from the window of whose manor house could be seen the celebrated road to Canterbury. A pencil note at the head of the page states that the three leaves were found in Hassall's collection 'The Red Leaf'. No place or date, but some time after Hassall's death in 1963, and probably written from Fry's house, The Toft. unknown
rif. 23784Undated but written in 1883. Addressed in autograph at head: ‘Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.W’. For information on Cook see his biography in the Oxford DNB which points out that the subtlety of his later fiction was lost on his contemporaries being written in a style that ‘was not sufficiently sensational’ for the period. The present item is the complete text of the last thing Cook ever wrote: a story which appeared in the weeks following his death in Hood’s Comic Annual for 1884 London 1883. On 3 November 1883 the ‘Bookseller’ quoted the review of the volume in the magazine ‘Fun’: ‘a melancholy interest attaches to the article “Columbines all of a Row” from the fact that it was the last production of the late Mr. Dutton Cook having been completed only a few days before his death’. The Graphic praised the story’s ‘charming intermingling of pathos and humour’. 12pp landscape 12mo. The holograph is written in a close stylized hand in purple ink on twelve 11.5 x 18 cm leaves attached with a brass stud. In good condition lightly aged. Addressed in autograph at top-right of first page: ‘Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.W’ and signed at end ‘Dutton Cook’. With autograph emendations throughout but evidently a final draft: the tenth and eleventh leaves have both been divided into two parts with neat vertical cutting and reunited on the reverse with paper labels with the section created by this division indicated by numbering in another hand in pencil in the margins. The story is divided by Cook into nine parts with roman numerals. Undated, but written in 1883. Addressed in autograph at head: ‘Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.W’. unknown
