Marcel ACHARD (1899-1974). Autograph manuscript signed, Le mouvement dramatique, [April 1930]; 4 pages in-4. Article published in the Revue de Paris of April 15, 1930 (pp. 931-937). Marcel Achard reviews five plays: La Voix humaine (Jean Cocteau), Juliette ou la Clé des Songes (Georges Neveux), Les Trois Henry (André Lang), La Vie que je t'ai donnée (Pirandello) and Étienne (Jacques Deval). Achard gives pride of place to Jean Cocteau, "a prodigious man of the theater", "a prodigious director. He is inhabited by the genius of theater. Achard describes Cocteau during rehearsals, as a juggler, prestidigitator, ventriloquist and magician... He comes to La Voix humaine, and the interpretation of "the admirable Berthe Bovy": "this forty-minute act, with only one character, is marvelously arranged"... Etc.
