Description
COCTEAU (Jean) Very beautiful handwritten praise to Marie Bell, of 3 pages (21x27) of 35 lines. Framed under glass. "Hail to Marie Bell Madame Marie Bell bears witness to a great extinct race, and, far from being a last scum of this ancient wave, she bears witness to it with her youth, at the age when women hesitate between the fruit and the flower. This great dead race is none other than that of the tragedians. Today the face replaces the face, the naturalness, the transcendence of the feelings, the charm, the crisis, the acid voices, the low organ and sometimes even hoarse of which the tone of Madam Yvonne de Bray gave the example. [Only Madame Yvonne de Bray symbolizes the queens of comedy and Madame Bell the queens of tragedy, one of these "sacred monsters" draped in the purple of the Caesars and the blood of the heroes. [The admirable thing about Mrs. Marie Bell is that she seems to play while she is playing, while her mouth raises the least syllable to the relief of a sentence or a gesture. [Whether she drags in her wake the innocent shame of Phaedra, the sweet distress of Berenice, the outraged pride of Agrippina, it is always tragedy seated on its red and gold throne, the true theater that triumphs, without forgetting the fires of the chandelier that Charles Baudelaire preferred to the spectacle. Jean Cocteau (with his star) " TEXTE DE PREMIER JET avec des raures.
