Pagnol had asked for the termination of raimu who "was on the street and said, "here for Mr. Pagnol"; but volterra, who did not want to do without raimu, ended up with the resilier, because he was going to have dinner "with chickens" instead of playing in the theatre.

Since they have been quarrelling for 10 years and a month". Because he wants to see his fanny play played in the betting theatre, with raimu in the role of caesar.

"try to settle this case as best as possible.] You must know that for some time, Mr. Léon Volterra has terminated Mr. Raimu, because he was walking on the street saying, "Here is for Mr." At that time, I could have arranged my play "fanny" without raimu or made the film "marius" with another actor.

In these circumstances, the consent I gave to Mr.Raimu's termination is null and void, as it was based on an inaccurate relationship of facts. I've been trying for a week to reconcile Mr. Volterra, who have been angry for a few insults that are not new to either of them, since they have been fighting for 10 years and a month.

Try to settle this case in the best interests of all. "Fanny" would have to be played in the betting theatre before the 1st. December with raimu in "caesar".

If this is not possible, make all necessary arrangements. For me, I'm going to Marseille [.] " Then he adds: "In addition, I ask that Mr.
