THE COMEDIANS FROM THE PROVINCE. - CAN YOU IMAGINE, MY DEAR, THESE BARBARIANS WERE HISSING DURING MY PERFORMANCE IN "CINNA"; AND YOU HAVE SEEN ME IN "CINNA". - YES, I FLATTER MYSELF HAVING SEEN YOU, BUT YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THESE PROVINCIALS ARE UTTER SIMPLETONS. ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR DEBUT AT THE THEATRE FRANÇAIS, YOU'LL BE SEEING MR. J.J. WHO WILL PAMPER YOU, YOU'LL BE ASKING 100'000 FRANCS ANNUAL SALARY, AND THEY'LL APPLAUD YOU... HOW CAN YO
Honoré Daumier
