In the presence of George was a leading light in the Gilbert and King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, the New Sullivan comic operas between 1881 and 1889, while Weedon was a playwright and farceur. The brothers are probably best remembered today for their highly entertaining Diary of a Nobody (1892). However, the brothers Grossmith of this article are George Junior and Lawrence, sons of George Senior. Both followed their illustrious father into the theatre and, in view of their style and panache, it was inevitable that they would enter the theatrical world of P G Wodehouse. George Junior Born 11 May 1874, George Junior was only 18 years old when he made his West End debut at the Criterion in 1892 as Cousin Foodle in Haste to the George Grossmith Jr with Fifi d’Orsay in Wedding , an operetta by W S Gilbert without Those Three French Girls Sullivan, which was based on the French farce, An Italian Straw Hat .

My Man Jeeves P
My Man Jeeves P. G. Wodehouse My Man Jeeves P. G. Wodehouse LEAVE IT TO JEEVES Jeeves—my man, you know—is really a most extraordinary chap. So capable. Honestly, I shouldn't know what to do without him. On broader lines he's like those chappies who sit peering sadly over the marble battlements at the Pennsylvania Station in the place marked “Inquiries.” You know the Johnnies I mean. You go up to them and say: “When's the next train for Melonsquashville, Tennessee?” and they reply, without stopping to think, “Two-forty-three, track ten, change at San Francisco.” And they're right every time. Well, Jeeves gives you just the same impression of omniscience. As an instance of what I mean, I remember meeting Monty Byng in Bond Street one morning, looking the last word in a grey check suit, and I felt I should never be happy till I had one like it. I dug the address of the tailors out of him, and had them working on the thing inside the hour. “Jeeves,” I said that evening. “I'm getting a check suit like that one of Mr. Byng's.” “Injudicious, sir,” he said firmly. “It will not become you.” “What absolute rot! It's the soundest thing I've struck for years.” “Unsuitable for you, sir.” Well, the long and the short of it was that the confounded thing came home, and I put it on, and when I caught sight of myself in the glass I nearly swooned. Jeeves was perfectly right. I looked a cross between a music-hall comedian and a cheap bookie. -

Manga! Convention: a Little Wodehouse on the Prairie! by Elin Woodger
The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 29 Number 3 Autumn 2008 See page 5 for important news about the 2009 Manga! convention: A Little Wodehouse on the Prairie! by Elin Woodger o, a manga is not a new type of dance. Rather, it is Na type of comic book that is very popular in Japan. You can, in fact, call it a craze—the Japanese are just wild about mangas. And now they’re becoming wild about P. G. Wodehouse, too, thanks to the combined efforts of two editors, a translator, and one very talented artist. Mangas come in many forms, from slim magazines to thick books, from comedies to action adventures, and both adolescents and adults enjoy them. Characters with Western features predominate in most, and the plots may also focus on Western themes. In recent years, butlers have become extremely popular as a topic for many mangas, from the comic character Hayate the Combat Butler to—inevitably—Jeeves. It was sometime last year that Maki Shiraoka, a senior editor at Hakusensha (publisher of more than 10 manga magazines and 400 comic books annually) conceived the idea of a manga featuring Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. She put the idea to another Hakusensha editor, Ayaka Tokushige, who in turn found Tamaki Morimura’s translation of The Inimitable Jeeves and thought it provided a good basis for a manga. The idea was to include the new serialization—entitled “Please Jeeves”—in Melody, a bimonthly magazine of more than 500 pages, and then, at the end of the year, to collect the Bertie and Jeeves mangas into one volume. -
The P G Wodehouse Society (UK)
The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Information Sheet Number 9b Revised December 2018 Articles from Wooster Sauce providing further details on six aspects of the Chronology of Wodehouse’s Fiction Writing 1 Reggie and the Greasy Bird The short story Reggie and the Greasy Bird, which had appeared in the Saturday Evening Post on 28 November 1936 was described by Wodehouse in a letter to William Townend of 28 December as being ‘. in that shape, rotten. I rewrote it like that because I had at last decided that I would start writing in America under another name, and then the tax matter was settled, and I sent it to the Post in that form, though knowing it was not so good.’ ‘The tax matter’ to which he refers was a dispute with the US tax authorities of such intensity that the Internal Revenue Service had issued liens to his publishers requiring any payments to Wodehouse to be redirected to the IRS. As was to be proved by a series of court decisions, neither party had interpreted all the relevant disputed tax laws correctly (and Wodehouse came out in rather the better position at the end of the day), but the imposition of this lien had an immediate and drastic impact on his cash flow from United States sources. At the time he was used to receiving approximately $ 40,000 per serialised novel, and $ 4,000 per short story. While the legal arguments were batted to and fro, he considered ways of circumventing the problem, and as he wrote to Townend, had concluded that he should submit stories under a pseudonym, in the hope that he would be able to receive immediate payment.
