IMPORTANT ARCHIVE OF DAI VERNON - FAUCETTIMPORTANT ARCHIVE OF DAI VERNON - FAUCETT ROSS LETTERS....Vernon, Dai (David Frederick Wingfield Verner). Important archive of Dai Vernon - Faucett Ross Letters. Beginning in 1938 and concluding in 1966, the letters, handwritten by Vernon, chronicle some of the most fruitful and storied years in Vernon's life. Many effects - and complete routines - are described in the archive in Vernon's hand. Most letters span multiple pages, front-and-back, and packed with tricks, private confessions, and personal anecdotes, much of it unpublished. Of particular interest is an early manuscript in Vernon's hand, including four illustrations titled "Solution to ÔBottle Neck' in Ring Routine." A lengthy description of Vernon's entire Linking Ring Routine, handwritten and illustrated by Ross, is also included. A four-page holographic questionnaire, written by Ross and completed in Vernon's hand, includes his candid responses to questions such as "What did you think of Charley Miller's stuff - Cups & Balls, etc.?" and "What do you do in your U.S.O. act besides balls and net and rings - if it's any of my business." Vernon's letters provide a candid view of his famous Harlequin Act, from the development of the costume (accompanied by tiny sketches in his hand) to firsthand accounts of his development of the routine and the various tricks he performed, among them the Gloves to Dove and salt pour. About an early version of the act he writes, "I usually take four to six bows but I certainly don't deserve them yet." He also describes many unpublished tips and "touches" on effects in his repertoire, as well as sleight-of-hand moves of his own invention. These include the Cups and Balls with the production of live baby chicks as a finale, Follow the Leader, "The V Packet Switch," Penetrating Thought, and more. Other letters describe the passing scene and a host of characters who come in and out of Vernon's life. These include Paul Rosini, Judson Cole, Roy Benson, George Jason ("Élooks like a caricatureÉand is the finest entertainer I have seen."), Eddie McGuire, and Charlie Miller ("he really talks in riddles."), to name but a few. A handful of postcards from Vernon to Ross, sent after The Professor's relocation to California, are included, mentioning the early days of the Magic Castle and Vernon's involvement in passing. Over 80 pages, including three short trick manuscripts, and three or four letters regarding Vernon or his activities, which complement the correspondence. Neatly organized. An important, irreplaceable archive.
DON BALKE (B. 1933) 'MOUNTAIN CARIBOU"DonDON BALKE (B. 1933) 'MOUNTAIN CARIBOU"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Mountain Caribou" Signed lower center. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood commemorative cover for Balke's Baby Wildlife of the 50 States, postmarked November 11, 1984.
It is spring in the Washington wilderness and tender young Caribou calves prance about the countryside, reddish-brown coats glistening prettily in the warm sunshine. A few short weeks ago, these lovely long-legged creatures were born. Within a few hours, they were walking, and within a few days, they were running -- as fast and as gracefully as their mothers. But, despite this freedom of movement, the baby Caribou still needs guidance, and will stay with his mother as autumn leaves fall and through the rigorous winter to come. Devoted to her offspring, the proud cow will spend many hours licking, nudging, bumping and touching her calf -- also looking for him as he becomes more and more curious about the world. Playing games of chase and follow the leader, the growing calf will leap and dash about, sometimes wandering a bit too far from the herd. The anxious mother may then follow in pursuit, identifying her calf by a series of snorts and by scent. Should she sense danger, the cow will resort to an unusual Caribou language consisting of head bobs, grunts and nudges, to urge her beloved baby to safety -- most often the safety of a high ridge or hill. In early spring, however, as the new calving season approaches, the mother Caribou must prepare for her new baby. Her little yearling will be left or driven off to join the main herd and to eventually raise calves of its own.
