Alphonse de CHÂTEAUBRIANT (1877-1951). L.A.S., Monday [October 1941], to Lucien Combelle; 2 pages in-8 on linen paper. He asks Combelle to write a review for La Gerbe, of which he is the director, of Paul Claudel's L'Annonce faite à Marie "by the young troupe of L'Œuvre", and recommends that he write about "the young Gilberte Terbois, who is so frankly excellent in the role of Mara: with a striking fire of life, reminiscent of the powerful acting, right on the point between life and art, of the Russian and German stages. There's not a look or gesture in this girl's face that doesn't give off the scent of old French soil. You'll find her face twenty times over in Lenain's paintings"...
