one day in Antoine theatre

13 novembre 1902. — J’avais engagé une charmante petite actrice, pleine de qualités, Mlle Lantelme, mais la pauvre fille ne paraît pas se rendre compte tout à fait de ce qui se passe chez moi. Comme elle est venue aujourd’hui à la répétition avec un retard de cinquante minutes, je l’ai purement et simplement remerciée et elle en a paru stupéfaite.
