For good measure a second performance of the Gershwin Brothers’ “It Ain’t Necessarily So”. This one by the Bronski Beat in 1985. ________________________ It Ain’t Necessarily So Music by George Gershwin; Lyrics by Ira Gershwin

It ain’t necessarily so It ain’t necessarily so The t'ings dat yo’ li'ble To read in de Bible, It ain’t necessarily so. Li'l David was small, but oh my! Li'l David was small, but oh my! He fought Big Goliath Who lay down an’ dieth! Li'l David was small, but oh my!Wadoo, zim bam boddle-oo, Hoodle ah da wa da, Scatty wah! Oh yeah!… Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale, Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale, Fo’ he made his home in Dat fish’s abdomen. Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale. Li'l Moses was found in a stream. Li'l Moses was found in a stream. He floated on water Till Ol’ Pharaoh’s daughter, She fished him, she said, from dat stream. Wadoo… Well, it ain’t necessarily so Well, it ain’t necessarily so Dey tells all you chillun De debble’s a villun, But it ain’t necessarily so! To get into Hebben Don’ snap for a sebben! Live clean! Don’ have no fault! Oh, I takes dat gospel Whenever it’s pos'ble, But wid a grain of salt. Methus'lah lived nine hundred years, Methus'lah lived nine hundred years, But who calls dat livin’ When no gal will give in To no man what’s nine hundred years? I’m preachin’ this sermon to show, It ain’t nece-ain’t nece Ain’t nece-ain’t nece Ain’t necessarily… So!

DEVIL SHOOTING TARGET

USA, 1910–1920

Cast iron, gold

19 × 15 × 9 cm

Ping! Bam! Clang! Such are the ear-piercing sounds that used to excite thrill seekers at target-shooting galleries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Commonly seen at early midways, carnivals, saloons and other places where people sought amusement, shooting galleries invited all comers, young and old, to step up, take aim and hopefully hit the target and win a prize. Each target was a sturdy, painted cast-iron form, usually replicating an animal or human figure.

The very rare cast iron Devil shooting gallery target presented here is attributed to H. C. Evans & Company of Chicago, Illinois. It retains its wonderful vibrant red in-use painted surface.

STUDENTICA DEVIL–FORM TANKARD

Probably Switzerland, 1920s

Pewter and earthenware

17 × 16.5 × 12 cm

This very decorative tankard in the shape of a devil's head is a typical example of a ‘studentica’ object. This term, mainly used by collectors, refers to objects created for traditional student customs; fraternity paraphernalia, literature – and objects linked with students’ affinity of getting inebriated. The lid is reinforced all around with a ring made of pewter. The jug is in very good condition and shows no damage or restorations.

A LARGE PAIR OF VENETIAN CARVED PINE AND FRUITWOOD DEVIL FIGURES ATTRIBUTED TO FRANCESCO TOSO (ITALIAN D. 1893)

Each figure with horns and faun like ears and with an exaggerated 'S' bend posture, the man wearing a cravat, a waistcoat with detailed buttons and a tailcoat, one hand in a masked pocket, the other webbed and outstretched, with hairy goat like legs, his tail resting between his cloven hoof feet, the female with a menacingly seductive gaze, sporting a hat and wearing a close fitting corset, dress and jacket, with a ruffled lace collar, her shoes carved with masks.
