1928réf. 21285London: Princes Theatre 1928. Small 8vo. 8 pp. Illustrated from four photographs including two of young Fred & Adele Astaire. Striking color illustrated staplebound wrappers. A fine copy rusted staples holding but fragile of the scarce opening night programme for Gershwins' performance of "Funny Face"; subsequent night programmes were of a different design. The London production of "Funny Face" starred Fred and Adele Astaire and Leslie Henses with Sydney Howard. "Funny Face" was Fred Astaire's nickname for his sister Adele. The show played a total of 267 performances in London. The show business careers of Fred and Adele Astaire began with the family's move to New York City in 1905. They finally broke into Broadway in 1917 with "Over the Top" a patriotic revue and performed for U.S. and Allied troops at this time as well. Throughout the 1920s Fred and Adele appeared on Broadway and the London stage. They won popular acclaim with the theater crowd on both sides of the Atlantic in shows such as Jerome Kern's The Punch and Judy 1922 George and Ira Gershwin's Lady Be Good 1924 and Funny Face 1927 and later in The Band Wagon 1931. By then Fred Astaire's tap dancing was recognized as among the best. The dynamic & hugely talented duo broke-up upon Adele's marriage in 1932 to her first husband Lord Charles Cavendish the second son of the 9th Duke of Devonshire. Fred continued on with his career and is widely considered the greatest dancer in film history. Princes Theatre unknown

1931réf. 6083-1George Gershwin Endorses Simon Bucharoff's In 1931 Letter GEORGE GERSHWIN 1898-1937. Gershwin was an American composer and pianist whose compositions spanned popular jazz and classical genres. TLS. 1 pg. 8" x 10". March 31 1931. New York. A typed letter signed "George Gershwin" to "Mr. Simon Bucharoff": "I've been looking through your book called A sic MODERN PIANIST'S TEXT BOOK and fine that it is practically complete from a pianist's standpoint. If I were to go on tour playing the piano I feel that your book would be the only one necessary to take along so far as developing and keeping up the technique is concerned. I will be happy to recommend your book wherever possible. Good luck to you". Simon Bucharoff 1881-1955 was a Russian-American pianist composer and educator who lectured and taught on the piano and musical composition. His textbook on the piano was published in 1931 and Gershwin's endorsement surely would have been used for marketing and commercial purposes. The same year this letter was sent Gershwin's Of Thee I Sing became the first musical comedy to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The letter is paired with a black-and-white image of Gershwin. Both are mounted on white in a black wooden frame. All are in fine condition though the letter has some folds and the signature is somewhat light.
