"Louis Laloy his first French biographer revealed in 1909 that 'He received his most profitable lessons from poets and painters not from musicians' while he himself told Varèse in 1911 'I love pictures almost as much as music'. .One of his rare piano pupils Mademoiselle Worms de Romilly went so far as to write that he 'always regretted not having worked at painting instead of music'. Ever since his years at the Conservatoire Debussy had felt that he had more to learn from artists than from career-obsessed musicians: 'You are getting nowhere M. Croche will tell them because you know nothing but music and obey barbaric laws'. Three of his works were dedicated to artists: one of the Images for piano to Alexandre Charpentier one of the Proses lyriques to Henri Lerolle and Estampes to Jacques-Emile Blanche."

Still a VG example of this fragile item. One broadside sheet printed recto only. 18-1/8" x 6-1/4" <br/><br/>Margaret Julia Mitchell popularly known as Maggie Mitchell was an American actress born in New York. She made her first regular appearance as Julia in The Soldier's Daughter at the Chambers Street Theatre in 1851. The parts in which she was best liked were Jane Eyre Mignon Little Barefoot and Fanchon the Cricket. Wiki In January 1861 At at De Bar’s St. Charles Theatre in New Orleans Mitchell first appeared in Fanchon the Cricket a new secondhand adaptation by August Waldauer from George Sand’s story “La Petite Fadette.” Her characterization of the sprite of a heroine which included a graceful and entrancing shadow dance was an immediate sensation. Her Southern tour was cut short by the Civil War and Mitchell took Fanchon to Boston and New York where it was equally successful. Fanchon remained her mainstay for 30 years. Audiences never tired of it—her admirers included the likes of Abraham Lincoln and Ralph Waldo Emerson—and even in her 50s Mitchell retained the winsome elfin appeal that made her so successful. She also early obtained the rights to Fanchon which enabled her to amass a considerable estate. EB. We find one institutional holding of this playbill at the MHS.
