Show Collaborators Give Opinions on Own Play Disciple of ISossuet and Moliere, dramatic author and theologian a rare enough combination David Au-gustin Au-gustin Brueys, who died 200 years ago, November 26, 1723. collaborated long and consistently with his friend. Pnlaprat, says a translation from Le Petit Parlslen of Paris, France. Together they wrote many plays, ,ome 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 nine. It Is excellent. The second ias been marred by a few scenes by Pnlaprat. It Is mediocre. The third is wholly Talaprat's. It Is very bad." Pnlaprat considered the play otherwise other-wise exactly otherwise. That Is how collaboration was understood un-derstood 200 years ago and how, without with-out doubt, It la understood today. Kansas City Star. |
