I was still on good terms with an actor of the Porte Saint Martin Theatre, who had been appointed stage manager there, Marc Fournier being at that time manager of the theatre. A piece entitled La biche au bois was then being given. It was a spectacular play, and was having a great success. A delightful actress from the Odeon Theatre, Mlle. Debay, had been engaged for the principal role.
"Oh, I beseech you," said the poor man. "You will be the only attraction at this performance, and I have only you to count on for the receipts." I shook hands with him. I do not know whether he remembered our first interview and my "audition," but I who remembered it well only hope that he did not. Five days later Mile. Debay was well again, and took her role as usual.
Josse, who guessed what my scruples were, exclaimed: "But, my dear child, it will still be your high art, for Mademoiselle Debay from the Odeon Theatre plays this role of Princess, and Mademoiselle Debay is the first artiste at the Odeon and the Odeon is an imperial theatre, so that it cannot be any disgrace after your studies."
