Jacques COPEAU. L.A.S., Paris "35 rue Madame" August 26, 1916, to Arnold Bennett; 1 1/2 pages in-4. Copeau has just received a mission from the French government to organize a tour of the Vieux-Colombier in the United States and Canada. He asks Bennett, who knows both countries well, for advice on which cities to visit and which personalities to contact. He plans to form a Franco-American committee in Paris, and American committees in the cities he is to visit. "The idea is to stage an imposing, young, lively French event in the United States, the likes of which have never been done before. We would give performances of the great classical repertoire and modern plays, poetry and music matinees, and conferences on the entire modern artistic movement in France"...
