CROMMELYNCK (Fernand). Signed autograph letter to Éditions Émile-Paul. Rapallo [on the Ligurian coast], August 21, 1934. 1 folio page, envelope preserved; small tear in the margin. The Belgian playwright, actor, and director discusses his play *CHAUD ET FROID* here: “In a great hurry, as always. I’VE WRITTEN A THREE-ACT FARCE HERE that I have to stage for its premiere in Brussels at the Théâtre du Parc on October 4—then in Paris, directed by Copeau or Jouvet [Jacques Copeau or Louis Jouvet]. (Just between us). I have to be back in Paris by next Monday at the latest. But, but, but, I don’t have the money for the trip. Please do everything possible to send me, as soon as you receive this letter, six hundred francs by telegraph. I have no other recourse. It goes without saying that I WILL BRING YOU THE MANUSCRIPT, which, this time, will be ready for publication on schedule. When I return on Monday, I’ll already have a full month of rehearsals ahead of me. That’s just enough time...”
