Sacha GUITRY. L.A.S., Cap d'Ail [1921], to his father Lucien Guitry; 4pages in-8 on the letterhead of the Eden-Grand Hôtel (small split in the fold). Beautiful letter to his father. "Ah! if it's the Class of classes, Little Daddy dear, if you're not replacing anyone, and if, this function having been created for you, no one will be able to fill it when you've had enough - yes, won't they. The main thing is that you enjoy it and don't get tired of it. This adventure of Le Misanthrope will have been from one end to the other - and we're not at the other end yet! - We were at Monday's performance of Lohengrin. [...] It's amazing how some masterpieces (are boring at first) and seem like their own parody. The arrival of tenor Frantz pulled by the swan! His fear of falling - indeed, this man who personified valour, gave the impression from 8 a.m. to midnight that he was afraid of everything, his helmet, his sword, his shirt, the orchestra, his partners and his voice. Courteline, who was in the audience, was amazing. He left after Act 2, telling us: "When I don't understand, it bores me... and when I understand, I don't give a damn". He said this to us in front of 30 people. Gunsbourg is unheard of because he doesn't pay any attention to what he's saying. He told us that at the age of 17, he was Wagner's stage manager in Bayreuth at the premiere of Lohengrin, which premiered in 1844! I want you to know that I earn between 400 and 800 francs every day!!!! There's a fat, toad-faced fellow at the Cercle, named Nathan, who asks me every day how you're doing. There are people to whom Le Bargy wouldn't give two cents in the street and who play 500 or 600 francs every minute. I've started Adam et Ève. The weather is wonderful"...
