[SC: 10.0], HISTORICAL-ROOT|LATEST ARRIVALS / CATEGORIES|NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATES||HISTORICAL-ROOT|LATEST ARRIVALS||HISTORICAL-ROOT|LATEST CATEGORIES|LITERATURE, du Gard, Roger Martin Autographed letter signed, 2 pages - both sides, 5,25 x 8,25 inch, `Cite du Grand Palais` letterhead, Nice, 12.05.1923, in French, to Maurice Chevalier - du Gard praises his correspondent to the skies, written and signed in dark ink, with a horizontal letter fold and mild signs of wear - in fine to very fine condition. "Cher Maurice Chevalier, Il suffit de vous avoir vu en scene, d`avoir ouvert vos memoires, pour comprendre que vous etes, vous aussi, un `laborieux`. Je le savais, bien avant nos breves et si cordiales rencontres, il y a six ou sept ans, sur le sable de la Garoupe. En vous approchant de plus pres, en vous entendant, entre deux baignades, parler de vos projets, de vos hesitations, j`ai senti mieux encore ce que votre extraordinaire reussite representait d`efforts, d`obstination dans la recherche, et, pour tout dire, de conscience professionnelle. Je suis donc a peu pres sur que Florent Margaritis [le peintre Florent Margaritis, auteur d`un portrait de Martin du Gard (1929)] dit vrai, lorsqu`il m`ecrit: `Maurice Chevalier a tres gentiment compris que, si tu vivais en reclus et fuyais toute relation, c`etait pour proteger ton travail.`Dame, oui? Vous qui connaissez bien la Cote et combien elle incite a la vie facile, vous ne devez pas etre surpris que, pour pouvoir travailler, il faille tendre des barbeles autour de soi et se refuser mordicus aux plus attrayantes diversions. La lettre de Florent m`a delivre d`une inquietude et d`un remords. Je voudrais, a tout prix, eviter qu`il y ait le moindre malentendu a mon sujet, et que vous puissiez douter de mes sentiments, qui sont tout de sympathie naturelle pour votre personne, et de profonde estime (`admiration` est un mot trop galvaude) pour votre art. Croyez-moi, je vous prie, bien votre Roger Martin du Gard Je suis ravi de l`amitie que vous temoignez a Florent. Il la merite. Son pere etait un frere pour moi, et les deux fils [l`autre fils etant Gilles Margaritis, le realisateur de la Piste aux Etoiles a la R.T.F.] sont comme mes enfants. Florent est en passe de devenir un grand bonhomme, parce qu`il a des dons etonnants, des vues neuves et personnelles, un juste sens des realites, et une extraordinaire puissance de travail. C`est, lui, aussi, un `laborieux`! (Il n`a qu`une mauvaise carte dans son jeu: une opiniatre probite, - dans un monde ou presque tout le monde triche?) Ce serait amusant de nous rencontrer un jour chez lui, et j`espere que ce projet se realisera au cours de l`ete. RMG." Translation: "Dear Maurice Chevalier, Just seeing you on stage, and reading your memories, to understand that you are, too, a `laborious`. I knew that before our brief and cordial meetings six or seven years ago, on the beach of the Garoupe. When I approached your closer, when I heard you, between two swims, talking about your projects, your hesitations, I better felt that your extraordinary success represented efforts, obstinacy in research, and, mostly, professional conscience. I`m pretty sure that Florent Margaritis [the painter Florent Margaritis, author of a portrait of Martin du Gard (1929)] told the truth when he wrote to me: `Maurice Chevalier very kindly understand that if you are living in seclusion and if you avoid any relationship, it was to protect your work`. Of course, yes . If you know how the life on the Coast encourages the easy life, you will not be surprised that, in order to work, it is necessary to install barbed wire around one`s self and absolutely refuse all attractive diversions. Florent?s letter took away anxiety and remorse. I would like, whatever the price, avoid any misunderstanding about me, and that you can doubt my feelings, which are all natural sympathy for your person, and deep esteem (`admiration` is a word too overused) for your art. Believe me, please, yours Roger Martin du Gard I am delighted the friendship you have shown to Florent. He deserves it. His father was like a brother to me, and his two sons [another son named Gilles Margaritis, was director of a famous TV circus show in the sixties called La Piste aux Etoiles] are like my children. Florent is becoming a great man, because he has amazing gifts, new and personal views, a just sense of reality, and extraordinary power of work. He is too a `hard-working` ! (He has a bad card in his game: a stubborn probity - in a world where almost everyone cheats .) It would be fun to meet us one day with him, and I hope that this project will be realized during the summer. RMG. ", Manuscripts & Paper Collectibles<
