Show Collaborators Give Opinions on Own Play Disciple of Bossuet and Mollere, dramatic author and theologian a rare enough combination David Au-gustin Au-gustin Brueys, who died 200 years ago, November 20, 1723, collaborated long and consistently with his friend, Palaprat, says a translation from Le Petit Parlsien of Paris, France. Together they wrote many plays, some of them failures, others successes, suc-cesses, among which was a little masterpiece mas-terpiece called "Grondeur," which Is still played. Speaking of this play, Brueys once remarked : "The first act is entirely mine. It is excellent. The second has been marred by a few scenes by Palaprat. It is mediocre. The third is wholly Palaprat's. It Is very bad." Palaprat considered the play otherwise other-wise exactly otherwise. That Is how collaboration was understood un-derstood 200 years ago and how,-without doubt. It is understood today. Kansas City Star. |
