Born in Moulins (Allier). 1823-1891. - Lot 63
Born in Moulins (Allier). 1823-1891. Poet, playwright and literary critic. 2 L.A.S. "Théodore de Banville" and "Th. de Banville". to Arsène Houssaye. S.l.n.d. 3 pages ¼ in-8. Théodore de Banville encourages his friend Arsène Houssaye to visit Mr de Beaufort [director of the Vaudeville theater]. He urges him ... Don't miss it, if it's possible! and above all remember well how the situation is posed; M. de Beaufort said to me last night: - Well, do you really think M. Houssaye will agree to perform his play here? Base your decision on that. Go ahead, please; be very polite (of course), but you're the man we're going to get from him, in a word, the master of the situation! To this same friend, the poet communicates the address of his dentist, who is ... the dentist and friend of Provost, Monrose and almost the entire Comédie Française [...] More than ever I am delighted with her drug. If it doesn't cure, it certainly eliminates pain. As for the Académie, my dear Arsène, the day I present myself, I'll certainly count on your vote, and on Gautier's perhaps... Arsène Houssaye (1814-1896) was a man of letters, administrator of the Comédie-Française from 1848 to 1856.
