"Jean", [Villefranche, hôtel Welcome January 16 or 23, 1926], to Jean Hugo; 1 page in-12 on the back of a color ill. postcard (Bouquetière de la Côte d'Azur), 2 stamped autograph envelopes. About his play Orphée. He has seen the Pitoëffs, "and everything is decided for our collaboration. I beg you to go and see them as soon as they return. They're waiting for you and want to draw up the model with you. Chanel is in charge of costumes. Write to me urgently to reassure me and tell me in 2 lines where you stand. Here I live in an American brothel"... [Orphée premiered on June 15, 1926 by Georges and Ludmilla Pitoëff at the Théâtre des Arts, with a set by Jean Hugo, Coco Chanel having designed Ludmilla Pitoëff's costume].
