Description
GABRIELLE REJANE (1856-1920). Gabrielle Rejane, born Gabrielle Charlotte Reju, was a French actress known especially for her roles in comedies. She spent eight seasons at the Thtre du Vaudeville, followed by becoming the leading lady at the Thtre des Varits. Her most famous roles are Nora in A Dolls House in 1894 and Catherine, a role she created in 1893 in the historical comedy-drama Madame Sans-Gne by Sardou and Moreau.ALS. 4 pg. July 12, 1878. N.p. An autograph letter signed G. Rejane in French to a critic about her portrayal of Ida. The English translation reads: My dear Master, You have such a gracious way of telling me that I was mistaken in the role of Ida, that I am wondering if your reproaches are not even more pleasant to me than your praise. If I were not afraid of abusing this kindness you are good enough to show me, I would ask you to listen to my justification. A great artist can be much more in error than a pupil. I agree with you completely. For the play, as for the role, the personality of Ida, should, I believe, stay on a note of gayness and fantasy. But then, I had to fashion a gay scene. In a light manner with sentences such as this one Yes again I had to sink into oblivion and solitude passed me by I would be too unhappy I would die of it. I know very well that it is up to the artist to find the exact word, and since your account, I have sought to do what you pointed out so graciously and with so much forbearance, and I see that calmness and theatrical tone underline, instead of passing over sentences which are very little in the character of personality. Besides, I had such a fear at the first performance that I was not master of myself. I beg your pardon, my dear Master, for this long chatter; but my observations are always so precise that for nothing in the world would I let you suppose that for the pleasure of producing an effect, I would want to sacrifice a role that I studied very conscientiously and that I wished to make as sympathetic as possible. Again thank you my dear Master. To you, if you permit it Very affectionately G. Rejane. This letter is most likely in response to Joseph Emile Dauphin Meuniers essay entitled Madame Rejane. This essay depicts Rejane as the epitome and symbol of Parisian intelligence and emotional complexity, explaining Madame Rjane - the Parisienne: they are interchangeable terms. Whatever role she plays absorbs the attention of all Paris. In his essay, he explains he sees her portrayal of Ida as reimagined, as she did not play it according to established norms or prior interpretations. This letter is in very good condition.
