Description: Antique Theatre - Lost In London 1880 Watts Phillips French’s Acting Edition. Has normal age related wear mostly to the edges, some old pencil notations on the actor's credits page - see detailed photos. I can find no originals like this one listed anywhere past or present. From the estate of actor William Sully & Nellie Germon who worked in Vaudeville Burlesque and theatre late 19th century to early 20th century era. He was from Boston and had Broadway New York acting credits. He was married to Nellie Germon who was one of the famous Germon family of actors. Her sister was Effie Germon who has a unique history involving John Wilkes Booth. I acquired a large lot of items and ephemera that had descended from William Sully including hand written lyrics and jokes by both Sully and Nellie Germon. Watts Phillips (16 November 1825 – 2 December 1874) was an English illustrator, novelist and playwright best known for his play The Dead Heart, which served as a model for Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.In a memoir, his sister Emma recalled that he had “many difficulties” in his life and waged “a gallant struggle against chequered fortune.” She described him as a “bright and buoyant character”, “a really brilliant, energetic man, who had many gifts and accomplishments, with a cheerful, undaunted spirit, which to the last helped him to encounter trials, and a vein of humour which was as much at the service of his friends as it was to that of the public.” Emma also noted that “at times he sank into fits of despondency, from which he suffered much.”A friend wrote of him that, “Few men were quicker of temper, more bitter and sarcastic in anger – and very few were so ready to forget and forgive…he could never sleep after a quarrel…until there had been a reconciliation.”
