Wardle worked as Kenneth Tynan's deputy on the Observer between 1959 and 1963. Wynne-Rushton had published a play titled 'The Gull's Way' in 1930, and a book on the papacy for Catholic publishers Burns, Oates and Washburne two years later. 2pp, 4to. In fair condition, folded three times, with wear and loss along one fold line of the second leaf, resulting in loss of a few words of text. Signed 'Irving Wardle' and addressed to 'Dear Mr. Rushton', identified as G. W. Wynne-Rushton by associated correspondence. He does not feel that he can be of much help to Wynne-Rushton 'in suggesting possible markets' for his work. Regarding the 1960 BBC TV production of Saunders Lewis's 'Siwan' he writes: 'It so happened that by the same post that brought your letter, I received a note from Emyr Humphreys, the producer of SIWAN, in which he said how much difficulty he had encountered in getting the BBC to agree to a television production of a play so remote from the current idioms: had it not been an appropriate choice for St. David's Day, the work might not have been seen at all.' He suggests Wynne-Rushton try J. Roose-Evans, manager of the Hampstead Theatre Club, which staged the play of 'Siwan', and 'might be interested in other historical pieces [.] And, of course, you can't lose anything by sending scripts in to the script department of the BBC and independent networks in the normal way. And I wouldn't ignore radio - they're also hard up for material, and much less nervous about adverse ratings and, for that reason, freer in their choice of material, even when it doesn't reflect what happens to be in fashion'.

English army officer and agent in the film business. Long and informed summary of 'the necessary points of our conversation'. Begins with description of Indian film industry: 'I have checked with India House these figures, and discovered that my sources of information are far more up to date than the Government's'. He encloses (not present) one of the stories he has found to 'make into Arabic films': 'Enslaved' by the Poet Laureate John Masefield. 'I have his written permission to make it into an Arab film'. Concludes: 'don't forget, that an extremely inferior American poet wrote, in very bad blank verse, a poem called "The White Cliffs of Dover" which was made into a very successful film. I am sufficiently English to hope that France will make a fine film of a poem by the English Poet Laureate; because it has never occurred to English firms to bother about the riches that are lying on their book shelves (if any).' Signed in pencil 'Gerald | G Wynne Rushton'. Discoloured by rust from paperclip.

Two items, in good condition. ONE: Duplicated typescript (1p., 8vo) headed 'TRANSLATION | MINISTRY OF INTERIOR. | DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF UIDANCE [sic] AND BROADCASTING'. Dated from 'Baghdad (Iraq)' on 11 February 1958. A letter of introduction for 'Mr. G. Wynne-Rushton', to five government ministries from 'Staff Brigadier Muhsen Mohamed Ali, Acting Director General of Guidance & Broadcasting'. Begins: 'Mr. G. Wynne-Rushton, who is now staying in Baghdad, is the Advertising Manager of Messrs. Aghabab Advertising & Publicity Bureau, Baghdad representing the British Commonwealth & Empire Trades Index in Iraq. Mr. Rushton intends to allocate in the said Index articles dealing with Iraq, and he therefore desires to obtain information, statistics and pictures as relating to your Ministry. You are requested to extend to him the necessary facilities on his approach to you.' TWO: Envelope, with printed Business letterhead of the Aghabab Advertising & Publicity Bureau. Addressed to 'Messrs. Bahjat Hassan & Co., Rashid Street, Baghdad.' In pencil on cover: 'Copies of Propaganda Letter'.

The collection is in fair condition, on aged and worn paper. The six items are from the Wynne-Rushton papers. The first four relate to the 1948 Moroccan film 'Kenzi', for which Wynne-Rushton was working as English distributor, produced by the Société marocaine de Production cinématographique, produced by Brandel's company Eden Film Productions, with French actress Simone Berriau (1896-1984) as art director, and featuring a young Habib Reda (1932-1974). ONE: ALS from Brandel ('Joe') to 'Dear Gerald'. 2pp., 8vo. Slight staining to second page. He apologises for the 'telegram-style letter', explaining that 'We are in the middle of rehearsing at Antoine [i.e. Theatre Antoine, where Berriau was director]'. Regarding the film he writes: 'the music in Kenzi is modern arabic suitable for all ears [.] Kenzi comes out before the P, and numerous Arab personalities - next week before French with sub-titles. | We had a small showing - but it is a 1A picture - bound to be a success - and easy to sell on showing.' Brandel continues with suggestions and instructions, before concluding on the subject of 'Plays', asking Wynne-Rushton whether he is 'Still interested in other propositions?' TWO: Unsigned ALS from Brandel to 'Dear Gerald'. 2pp., 8vo, and 1p., landscape 12mo. After a brief discussion of Wynne-Rushton's disagreements with 'Nebbi', Brandel continues: 'You have thrown yourself with a lot of energy and enthousiasm [sic] on the very difficult job of theatre and film representation and I would hate to see you give it up - the more so as results in this business are long and doubtful. | Unless you desire otherwise - please continue - I think the only exceptions are the Ustinov contacts and maybe at the Academy people - but if you can handle the latter please continue'. He next turns to 'Kenzi', which was 'shown to a very select gathering of Arab speaking personalities (including Hosmi Nagub of who received a note from Fiad Sabib.) | Everyone was very enthousiastic [sic] - it was a terrific success.' He discusses future plans, with reference to 'Uncle Harry' (a film?). He asks him to send money to the Dutch sports journalist Albert Milhado (1910-2001), and refers to ' Brahms', before concluding: 'Re Plays - as I said before - I do not think French's Catalogue is the solution to my problem. We saw duet for two hands - quite good - but very macabre in these difficult days - but the rights were sold - So be on the look out for London's best plays. Thats's what we want.' THREE: Duplicated typed press release in French, headed 'SALAM | SOCIETE MAROCAINE DE PRODUCTION CINEMATOGRAPHIQUE | QUELQUES INDICATIONS SUR LA SOCIETE'. 1p., 8vo. Creased and worn at extremities. Explains that the Society is backed by the 'Pacha', represented by his son Caid Brahim el Glaoui, and that the following French individuals are involved: 'President du Conseil: General BOUSCAT | Adminustrateur [sic] Delegue: J. M. BRANDEL. | Direction Artistique: Madame Simone BERRIAU.' The Society's first film is 'Mon Tresor' or 'Kenzi', with the scenario taken from Yves Mirande's 'Un Trou dans le Mur'. 'Ce film est tourne dans les magnifiques Palais et les nombreux jardins du PACHA DE MARRAKECH ainsi qu'au pied de l'Atlas [.] Madame Simone Berriau, Directrice du Theatre Antoine, productrice et interprete de nombreux films, en assure la supervision artistique [.]'. Details of the others involved are given, including 'HABIB REDA [qui] a compose pour ce film plusieurs chansons qui ne manqueront pas de plaire au publique arabe ainsi qu'au public Europeen.' The release ends: 'Le dialogue comme on peut s'y attendre est de Mr Yves MIRANDE, toujours spirituel et plein d'humour parisien.' FOUR: Duplicated typed 'EXTRAIT DU SCENARIO'. 2pp., 8vo. With creasing and wear to extremities. Headed in pencil: '"KEMZI" | AN ARAB FILM with Arab Caste [sic] | FILMED BY EDEN PRODUCTIONS LTD, PARIS and MARAKESH (MOROCCO)'. Gives a full synopsis of the film, beginning: 'Un jeune garcon arabe (HABIB REDA) vient de finir avec succes a Paris ses etudes de medecin. | Il habite avec son ami (MAURICE BAQUET) egalement d'origine arabe. Ce dernier n'a jamais vu son pays natal et n'en parle presque pas la langue. Il est artiste de music hall et ses cachets aident les deux amis a couvrir leurs frais.'.
