réf. 23776Anstey's TLS on his Daily Telegraph Magazine letterhead and dated 20 March 1970. Hayden-Guest's article evidently written shortly before that date. A curious artefact indicating Garbo’s iconic status and an early example of a journalistic trend which has gained ground since the late 1960s. Hayden-Guest still active as a writer is the son of the diplomat Peter Haden-Guest 4th Baron Haden-Guest and brother of the 5th Baron Christopher who is won fame as ‘Nigel’ in the film ‘Spinal Tap’. Anstey who edited the Daily Telegraph magazine for twenty-two years from its inception in 1964 has been variously described as ‘the last of the great autocratic magazine editors’ ‘tyrannical’ and ‘completely terrifying’ with a habit of sending his employees ‘alarming memos on the eve of their summer holidays’. He ‘did not often meet his reporters personally instead he wrote notes and invited them once a year to the magazine’s Christmas party’. While grateful for the money John Betjeman found working for the magazine ‘hateful’. Gitta Sereny who contributed extensively to what she considered ‘the best of the weekend colour supplements’ found Anstey ‘difficult’ but ‘extraordinary’. Both are items in fair condition lightly aged and stapled together. ONE: Unsigned Carbon Typescript of article titled ‘GRETA GARBO - a Personal Memoir Anthony Haden-Guest’. 5pp long 8vo. Single-spaced on five leaves. As Item Two makes clear the article is a spoof of the ‘type of article’ which Anstey describes as the ‘anti-profile’: pretentious and implying in conspiratorial tones an implausible familiarity with the subject. It is the sort of writing which Martin Amis would begin by satirizing. The beginning sets the tone: ‘Some people just a few call her ‘Greta’ right to her face That face. Charlie Chaplin does to name but one. All the same most people who are so close that they could call her ‘Greta’ in fact call her ‘G. G.’. Acquaintances But wouldn’t that be enough call her “Miss Garbo” and a very few indulge her own conspiratorial urges and refer to her as “Miss Brown”. As indeed she sometimes does herself. I am indebted for this information to the writings of Mr Norman Zierold who does not say what he calls her or what she calls him. / Personally I like to call her simply “Greta Garbo”.’ Further on comes a passage which like the rest of the article may or may not be a complete fiction: ‘Actually the first time that I was introduced to Greta Garbo was under pretty funny circumstances but Destiny as so many of her great motion pictures have pointed out gets up to some pretty funny things. Certainly it seemed funny to see Garbo at a party especially this sort of party a flourescent celebration of . . . Well not Garbo though she is incontestably the centre of it all. An acid/rock group is pounding nervily away into the statutory light-machine and a film is being projected onto a wall which is white and narrow - so narrow that most of the party is taking place without artistic licence in the movie.’ Towards the end Haden-Guest stretches the bounds of credulity with the following: ‘Great Garbo! Now she is looking at me . . . The ageing roue is nowhere to be seen. Her shoulders are working hugely and her throat and the face . . . planes shift as conflicting emotions do massive internal furniture removals but now Garbo looks so worried and she says it - She actually says it - “I want to be alone”. / Yes she is really saying it and not just once because she repeats it - “I want to be alone”. / Well yes. Great Garbo want to be alone -’. TWO: Typed Letter Signed ‘J A’ from John Anstey 20 March 1970 addressed to ‘Anthony Haden-Guest Esq. C/o Chateau Marmont Los Angeles California U.S.A.’ ‘c. c. Pat Kavanagh’ 1p 8vo. He begins: ‘Dear Anthony I read the Great Garbo article when it first came in. Last night I read it again. It is a difficult one. However I know that you have misgivings about it - and I fear that I have them too.’ Anstey’s opinion is that the piece ‘just does not work at the moment. ‘It does not come across as the sort of “anti-profile” we were thinking about. It starts off by being intriguing. But then one just gets confused and there is a danger of it seeming rather pretentious: which is one of the faults of the type of article which it should be satirizing.’ He suggests that they ‘look at it again’ when Haden-Guest gets back from America. ‘The formula is right at the moment but we must overcome the danger of pretentiousness and it must seem less pointless than it is at the moment. The last paragraph cleverly suggests that there is nothing more to know about Greta Garbo than we learn here: but somehow I think that we have got to say more.’ The letter ends: ‘How is California Can you let me know about the Hollywood idea as soon as possible.’ Not known if published in any form despite Googlebooks.

réf. 17960Both on his letterhead 11 Apple Tree Yard. 23 August and 24 November 1949. Both items in good condition lightly-aged. ONE: 2pp. 4to. Having returned from 'a rather long painting expedition to France' he finds that 'circumstances have arisen in regard to the administration of the Society' the Society of British Film Art Directors and Designers of which Craig was a leading light and in the light of these circumstances Irving feels compelled to resign. 'It is . unlikely that I shall design any more films. Life is short and there is so much to be done that even if anybody wished me to I should hesitate to commit myself to the months not only of work but of preoccupation which a film production involves. Quite apart from this I feel that the principles of film design which however wrongly I have always advocated are being abandoned naturally in the face of economic pressure and the general registration of film making. I am old fashioned enough to believe that the situation into which films have fallen is very largely due to the insistance sic of those who have misguidedly and not very successfully tried to make it into an industry rather than a medium of expression for groups of artists of enterprise and imagination.' Two more paragraphs follow before the letter ends. TWO: 1p. 4to. Following the last letter Irving has been offered honorary membership of the Society and writes: 'I do not feel that I deserve such consideration for you and several others have striven hard to maintain the prestige of Art Directors in the gruelling factory conditions of commercial studios through good and bad times. However as you well know to an artist the only commendation or criticism which really touches him is that of his fellow craftsmen .'. He offers his assistance to the Society before ending: 'I heard from Flower that your meeting in London was a success and that you are going to get out drawings and plans for the proposed Elizabethan theatre. I am very glad to hear this and I know you will find the Stratford people charming to deal with.' Both on his letterhead, 11 Apple Tree Yard. 23 August and 24 November 1949. unknown
réf. 22067On her letterhead Sherman Oaks California. 28 February 2005. 3pp 4to. In good condition lightly aged. A long and entertaining letter beginning: 'Dear Mr. Fry Probably late in 1949 in a New York City duplex living room two married couples lay prone on the floor fanned out around a single copy of “The Lady's Not for Burning” the better to read aloud all its colorful roles. The couples were Alfred Drake with whom I had played the previous season in my first Broadway play his wife my writer husband i.e. Robert Presnell Jr and I. Alfred had just come across “The Lady” and had to share his discovery with us.' The reading gave her 'a lifetime favorite play'. She describes how she had to 'miss playing in “A Phoenix too Frequent” being hard at work then in G. B. Shaw's “The Devil's Disciple” at the Royale Theatre'. The 'floor-reading foursome' attended a performance of 'The Lady' by the British cast at the same theatre 'and were spellbound. I especially recall the mellow beauty of Pamela Brown's voice and noting well the actor playing Richard the copying clerk also a Richard last name Burton.' She describes a production she was in with Vincent Price 'first at Southern California's La Jolla Playhouse then at San Francisco's Alcazar Theatre': 'Audiences trooped backstage to thank us for the feast of language they had enjoyed – a rare attention to text. Loving the play we all longed to take it on tour but previous commitments forbade and so the magic spell we'd been under was broken. But Vinnie Price and I did have one more go at it a few years later when his hometown St. Louis Missouri showed that middle-America could relish Christopher Fry just as much as did our east and west coasts.' She contrasts how Fry's words 'fly upward like the sparkling drops of an exuberant fountain' with how T. S. Eliot's speeches 'in the simplest barest of words could leave the listener baffled as to what it was he was saying. I even had trouble learning those lines.' She ends by explaining that 'That very nice fellow-actor Ted Donaldson encouraged me to tell you what joy your writing has brought me – and so many others in these distant outposts. Your unique gifts have enriched all who have come across them. Thank you oh thank you for sharing them with us.' On her letterhead, Sherman Oaks, California. 28 February 2005. unknown
