192087075Paris: Editions de la Sirène 1920. Fine. Editions de la Sirène Paris 1920 14.50 x 23 cm relié First edition on ordinary paper. Bradel binding with gilt and moiré decorative paper signed Goy & Vilaine smooth spine black morocco title-label top edge gilt fragile covers and spine lined preserved. Signed and inscribed by Jean Cocteau: ""To my dear friend Marcel Herrand. Jean Cocteau. 1920."" In the first article of Carte blanche 1919 Jean Cocteau praises the young actor Marcel Herrand then aged twenty-two: ""The new spirit is stirring all branches of art. Young actors are putting themselves at the service of modern poetry. Marcel Herrand who created 'Les Mamelles de Tirésias' and various masked roles in 'Le Dit des jeux du monde' was the first to surprise us with his rhythm his straight voice and his disdain for effect. Gestures intentions bleats shouts smiles the nuances beneath each syllable the play of timbre all disappear here to make way for a typographic reading. An inky black. Clean-cut words fall off the page one after the other. The actor does not substitute his emotion for that of the poet. He serves him instead of using himself."" During the 1920s Cocteau entrusted several roles to the talented Marcel Herrand: first as a phonograph in ""Les Mariés de la tour Eiffel"" 1921 he won the male lead in 'Roméo et Juliette' 1924 and even played the angel Heurtebise in the first cast of his famous 'Orphée' in 1926. Moving and early inscription by Jean Cocteau in homage to one of his favorite actors. Editions de la Sirène unknown
