D'you know that I'm not twenty yet? Girls of my age are still at school. But the only lesson I've learnt quite pat Is how to say to a fool Of a man "I love you" without meaning a word of it. Sometimes I'm tired of it. At least he wants it to be true, He believes it. How absurd! He believes me. I should hate Him not to believe me. Madame Rabouin I'm thinking of you, My dear, and your future. Has he got any money? Marie Of course not. Madame Rabouin Well, whose estate Does he think all this is provided from? Marie He doesn't think of it. Madame Rabouin Innocent baby! Marie He is, he is! Madame Rabouin Well, that's as may be If I'd have known that things had come To such a funny Pass as this, I'd have thought it amiss To tell my young friend he could try his luck. Marie Tell what... tell who? Madame Rabouin I don't think you know him. Marie What have you told him to do? Madame Rabouin As a matter of fact, It was he told me he was coming to call. I said I'd find out if you'd see him; that's all. You needn't, of course! But tell your maid to show him A little courtesy, to use a little tact. For he's not the ordinary young spark Wanting to know you for a lark, Though he's young enough to take a snub.

Seller's Description:
Spine and pages darkened, some nicks and wear to extremities, but overall a very nice copy. Very Good to Near Fine. Comedie en vers libres. First Edition. Softcover. Trade edition. Signed & inscribed by Guitry in March 1918 to Edmond Roze, theatre impresario and producer of this play. An extraordinarily NICE ASSOCIATION for this play. Also offered for sale along with the inscribed French trade edition is a hardcover English Version Translated by H. Granville Barker and published by Putnam in 1921. 8vo, green cloth, gilt-stamped. Very good. The first performance of the play occurred at the Vaudeville Theatre in Paris in February 1918. It was translated into English and ran on Broadway during 1920 and 1921. The French version was later made into a film in 1951, written and directed by Guitry. The title character of the play is based on Jean-Gaspard Deburau, who was a real mime in the 1830s and whose unforgettable character was at the center of the film LES ENFANTS DE PARADIS (THE CHILDREN OF PARADISE).
