Jacques COPEAU. 2 L.A.S., [circa 1920]-1921, to a lady [Jane Bathori?]; 1page small in-4, and 1page in-4 with vignette and Théâtre du Vieux Colombier letterhead (slight cracks at folds). May 1st, thanking her for her "affectionate approval. All this is nothing yet. Everything remains to be done. It will all come about through patience and hard work. All we need is confidence and perseverance"... June 4, 1921, about the beginnings of the Vieux-Colombier school... "This year's trials have led us nowhere, I'm wasting my time and you're wasting yours. So I'm stopping them, as you must have been warned. There are reasons for this failure that I know. Firstly, the recruitment of students, their disparate backgrounds and age inequalities. But above all, I am now convinced that to do what I want to do, I can only address myself to very young pupils, to children"... 2 L.S. to drama critic Matéi Roussou, November 23, 1921, and December 17, 1935 (1 p. in-4 each).
