Working manuscript of DEBURAU (1918) with many additions and corrections by Guitry, director Edmond Roze's copy

Hardcover. Manuscript in ink with pictorial cover of a mime, possibly by Guitry, signed twice by Guitry, but the bulk of the text almost certainly prepared by a professional copyist, with dozens of corrections, pencil notes, additional dialog, etc, likely by Guitry & Roze. The working copy for Edmond Roze, a theatrical impresario, producer and director, who staged this at his Roze's Theatre de Vaudeville in 1918. Enclosed is a sheet of blue paper, 'Infinitment merci, Sacha Guitry' (some stains to its fore-edge) and a pasted in long telegram from Marseille, Guitry to Roze, advising him that he is stuck in Marseille but that the play must go on without him, etc. Ca. 150 pp, bound in half red cloth and marbled boards. Guitry was a notable playwright and actor, who then went on to an equally notable career in the cinema. This play is about a mime in the 1830s who falls in love. It was later redone as a movie in 1950, with Guitry as director. Very Good. Item #H2480
