  • 2. Nat Phillips Collection Finding
    NAT PHILLIPS COLLECTION FINDING AID FRYER Library, The University of Queensland (UQFL9) Comprising eleven boxes of miscellanea, including scripts, scores, jokes, lyrics, business and legal papers, and photographs, the Nat Phillips Collection is the most extensive collection of early twentieth-century Australian variety ephemera in existence. While the bulk of the collection is ephemera belonging to Nat Phillips, including items associated with the Stiffy and Mo Revue Company and Fullers' Theatres, it also includes manuscripts and miscellanea belonging to John N. McCallum and Cremorne Theatre (including Will Mahoney and Walter Johnson), Tom Armstrong and Jack Phillips. One of the most significant aspects of the Nat Phillips collection is that it provides us with a much clearer understanding of the Australian larrikin personas developed by Phillips and Rene. Although based on Irish and Jewish theatrical types, Stiffy and Mo found much appeal with audiences throughout the country, capturing the same spirit that was emanating from the larrikin Aussie soldier of the First World War. The collection, which through accidental good fortune survived all odds, is now also able to serve as a reminder to historians and cultural theorists that popular entertainment is an area worthy of much further study. The Collection was discovered through sheer luck in 1972 when University of Queensland lecturer Dr Robert Jordan (later professor of drama at the University of New South Wales) and his first wife were looking through a Brisbane bric-a-brac shop. The Jordans notified the Fryer Library of the boxes and they were apparently purchased for a nominal sum. Descendants of Phillips' brother, Jack, have since informed the Library that the boxes possibly disappeared during a bitter divorce between Jacob "Jack" Phillips (Nat's brother) and his wife.

  • Lyrics and Music
    Soundtrack for a New Jerusalem Lyrics and Music By Lily Meadow Foster and Toliver Myers EDITED by Peter Daniel The 70th Anniversary of the National Health Service 1 Jerusalem 1916 England does not have a national anthem, however unofficially the beautiful Jerusalem hymn is seen as such by many English people. Jerusalem was originally written as a preface poem by William Blake to his work on Milton written in 1804, the lyrics were added to music written by Hubert Parry in 1916 during the gloom of WWI when an uplifting new English hymn was well received and needed. Blake was in- spired by the mythical story Jesus, accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea, once came to England. This developed its major theme that of creating a heaven on earth in En- galnd, a fairer more equal country that would abolish the exploitation of working people that was seen in the ‘dark Satin mills’ of the Industrial revolution. The song was gifted by Hubert Parry to the Suffragette movement who were inspired by this vi- sion of equality. 2 Jerusalem William Blake lyrics Hubert Parry Music 1916 And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant Land Hubert Parry 1916 Words by William Blake 1804 3 Jerusalem 1916 4 Jerusalem 1916 5 Jerusalem 1916 William Blake imagined a time when Britain would be a fairer more equal society.

    1920 1 MEDORAH London run: Alhambra, January 22 nd – March 13 th (60 performances) Music: Vada Ennem Book & Lyrics Denn Spranklin English adaptation: Rupert Hazell English lyrics : Adrian Ross Additional numbers : John Ansell Director: E. Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.
