GUITRY, Sacha (1885–1957). Autograph manuscript; 8 oblong in-4 pages. Description: On the art of acting. Conclusion of a talk on the acting profession; pages I through VI are in black pencil, the last two pages in ballpoint pen. “To wrap up the topic of the actor, I’d like to say one more thing. There is no profession that has [caused] more ink to flow—and yet is as little understood as the acting profession”… After quoting Beaumarchais, he comments: “When you applaud at the end of a play, the playwright never knows how much of that applause is due to him”; the share that belongs to the actor is difficult to define: “For while the playwright may have displayed genius in writing—in silence and solitude—the actor may display genius on stage—but he can only do so if you are there!”… Etc. Finally, he mentions Shakespeare, Molière, and Beaumarchais, and notes “Deburau END” (he will quote from his play by heart to conclude).
