ref. 015987Sacha Guitry (1885-1957), écrivain, réalisateur, scénariste, metteur en scène. Manuscrit autographe, sd, 4p in-4. Notes, difficiles à lire, au crayon rouge, à déchiffrer. Petits manques. [259]
ref. 015986Sacha Guitry (1885-1957), écrivain, réalisateur, scénariste, metteur en scène. Manuscrit en partie autographe, [ca.juin 1935], environ 28f. in-4 [dont 11f. au moins sont autographes]. Important ensemble de notes sur les enfants, listant de nombreux petits enfants avec leur nom, leur ville et parfois leur âge et surtout des détails les concernant : « sucent leurs doigts, paresseux, désobéissants, taquins, gourmands, pleurnicheurs . ». Ces notes sont très largement d'une autre main. A cela sont joints différents textes de Guitry dont un petit discours (2p 1/2, complet), un petit discours sur l'importance du calcul (2p, incomplet de la fin), un petit discours sur les enfants qui sucent leurs doigts (2p 1/2, a priori complet) et diverses notes. Tout cela étant autographe. Sur un feuillet non autographe, on remarquera la note autographe de Guitry : « Il ne faut pas être gourmands / Il faut être gourmets ». On remarquera, parmi les pleurnicheurs, un « Michel Houelbecq » (et non Houellebecq), petit enfant de 6ans originaire du Calvados. En plus de ces 28 feuillets (parfois écrits - partiellement - au verso) se trouvent des pages coupées, des pages pliées ayant dû servir de chemises, etc. Nous ne savons quel fut l'usage de ces textes, si cela a donné lieu à une intervention ou à une publication. Ils furent bien écrits en 1935 car, grâce à certains noms d'enfant avec les âges, on peut affirmer que c'est écrit entre mars et septembre 1935. On remarquera que c'est en décembre 1935 que Guitry fit une présentation de son film sur Pasteur aux écoles de Vincennes. C'est peut-être la période où il s'intéressa le plus aux enfants ? Très bel et important ensemble. [259]
