Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. Signed and inscribed by the author, Claude Roger-Marx to French-American actor Charles Boyer. Inscribed in French: ÒA Charles Boyer, qui sait quÕil nÕest de vraie grandeur que dans la simplicite. A Charles Boyer sans lequel Simili nÕont pas ete Simili. Avec lÕamitie affectueuse et lÕadmiration de Claude R.M.Ó The…translation: ÒTo Charles Boyer, who knows that true greatness lies only in simplicity. To Charles Boyer, without whom Simili has not been Simili. With fond friendship and admiration, Claude R.M.Ó From a total edition of 280 numbered copies, this is one of 225 printed on fine Lafuma wove paper. Paperbound in original printed wrappers, entirely uncut and unopened. Quarto, 6 3/4Ó x 8 1/2Ó. Illustrated with seven original drypoints by Pierre Bonnard. Very good plus to near fine copy enclosed in a custom clamshell box. Charles Boyer starred in the original 1924 Paris premiere of the play and obviously formed a close bond with the author Claude Roger-Marx. Boyer earned a degree in philosophy at the Sorbonne before turning to a career as an actor. His first big Hollywood break was a very small part of a chauffeur to Jean Harlow in Red-Headed Woman (1932), and he went on to appear in a French adaptation of Liliom directed by the great Fritz Lang. This lead to other memorable roles in such classic films as Private Worlds, Shanghai, The Garden of Allah, All This and Heaven Too, Gaslight, Algiers, Fanny, Cluny Brown, Arch of Triumph, The First Legion, Conquest, Around the World in Eighty Days, Barefoot in the Park, etc. He was nominated for four Best Actor Oscars for his work in Conquest (1937)Algiers (1938), Gaslight (1944), Fanny (1961), and in 1943 he received an Honorary Oscar Certificate for his progressive cultural achievement in establishing the French Research Foundation in Los Angeles as a source of reference. In 1950, he appeared on Broadway in one of his most notable roles, that of Don Juan, in a dramatic reading of the third act of George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman (popularly known as ÔDon Juan in HellÕ), and in 1952, he won a Special Tony Award for that performance. He also enjoyed success on the small screen, appearing in Four Star Playhouse (1952-1956), on the rather short-lived but critically acclaimed series, The Rogues, with David Niven and Gig Young, and in a favorite episode of I Love Lucy entitled ÔLucy Meets Charles Boyer.Õ.

Echtfoto. Condition: Gut. Schwarzweissfoto in Postkartenformat von Charles Boyer bildseitig mit schwarzem Kuli signiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Charles Boyer (* 28. August 1899 in Figeac, Frankreich; ? 26. August 1978 in Phoenix, Arizona) war ein französischer Schauspieler. Den Höhepunkt seiner Karrier…e erlebte er in den 1930er und 1940er Jahren in Hollywood, als er in Liebesfilmen häufig den Leading Man spielte. Im Laufe seiner Karriere erhielt Boyer vier Oscar-Nominierungen als bester Hauptdarsteller; bei der Oscarverleihung 1943 wurde er für sein Engagement im Zweiten Weltkrieg mit einem Ehrenoscar ausgezeichnet. Boyer brach sein Studium der Philosophie an der Sorbonne ab, um das Pariser Konservatorium zu besuchen, und begann anschließend seine Schauspielkarriere am Theater. Bereits 1920 debütierte er in dem Film L?homme du large und wurde rasch ein bekannter Darsteller romantischer Helden. Im Jahre 1929 ging er nach Hollywood und wirkte in zahlreichen Versionenfilmen mit, darunter in den französischen Fassungen von The Trial of Mary Dugan und Hölle hinter Gittern. Insgesamt blieb seine Popularität jedoch hinter der seines Landsmannes Maurice Chevalier zurück. 1932 spielte er neben Jean Harlow eine kleine Rolle in Feuerkopf und kehrte kurz danach nach Frankreich zurück. Nach seinem großen Erfolg in Liliom ging er 1934 wieder nach Amerika und spielte neben Stars wie Loretta Young (Caravan), Katharine Hepburn (Break of Hearts) und Marlene Dietrich (Der Garten Allahs). Zwischenzeitlich hatte er in Frankreich unter der Regie von Anatole Litvak als Kronprinz Rudolf neben Danielle Darrieux in Mayerling seinen bis dahin größten Erfolg. Er drehte danach hauptsächlich in Amerika, so neben Claudette Colbert in Tovarich, mit Jean Arthur unter der Regie von Frank Borzage in Und ewig siegt die Liebe und als Napoleon neben Greta Garbo in Maria Walewska. Sein Auftritt in Algiers, einer Neuverfilmung des französischen Films Pépé le Moko, mit dem er als neuer romantischer Liebhaber lanciert werden sollte, litt jedoch unter der Anwesenheit von Hedy Lamarr, die in einer Nebenrolle ihr amerikanisches Debüt gab und Boyer die Show stahl. Angekündigt als ?schönste Frau der Welt? verursachte Lamarr einen Modetrend, indem sie brünett zur Modehaarfarbe der späten 1930er machte. Zeit seines Lebens hing Boyer der angebliche Satz ?Come with me to the Casbah!? nach, obwohl er ihn tatsächlich niemals im Film gesagt hatte. In den Folgejahren etablierte sich Boyer als Darsteller in Liebesfilmen. Besonders seine Auftritte neben Irene Dunne in Ruhelose Liebe von 1939 und Bette Davis in Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg aus dem Folgejahr trugen ihm Anerkennung seitens der Kritiker ein. Insgesamt dreimal war er neben Margaret Sullavan zu sehen, darunter 1941 in Seitenstraße. Eine Abkehr von den bisherigen Rollen war der Auftritt in Mitchell Leisens Das goldene Tor, der ihn 1941 als Gigolo einsetzte, der Olivia de Havilland als unbedarfte junge Lehrerin emotional ausnutzt, um ein Visum für die USA zu bekommen. Ungleich integrer war sein Charakter im Film Liebesleid, der auf einem populären Buch basierte und in dem er unter der Regie von Edmund Goulding eine tragische Beziehung mit Joan Fontaine eingeht. In dem Film Das Haus der Lady Alquist versuchte er 1944, Ingrid Bergman in den Wahnsinn zu treiben, um an die Juwelen ihrer Tante zu gelangen. Dies brachte ihm seine vierte Oscarnominierung als bester Hauptdarsteller ein. Mit Irene Dunne war er im selben Jahr wieder in Modell wider Willen zu sehen. 1946 spielte er in Ernst Lubitschs Spätwerk Cluny Brown auf Freiersfüßen einen tschechischen Exilanten, der sich in eine von Jennifer Jones verkörperte Klempnerin verliebt. Im Jahre 1948 spielte er mit Ingrid Bergman die Hauptrollen in Triumphbogen, einer aufwendigen Verfilmung des Romans Arc de Triomphe von Erich Maria Remarque, die aber weder Kritiker noch Publikum recht überzeugen konnte. Ab den späten 1940er Jahren verlegte sich Boyer hauptsächlich auf Charakterrollen in F.

Pas de couverture. Paris 25 Juin 1854 | 11.50 x 18.50 cm | une page recto-verso | Lettre autographe, datée du 25 Juin 1854, et signée de deux pages de Charles Baudelaire à Philoxène Boyer, qu'il surnomme "mon cher Lyrique", dans laquelle il s'excuse d'avoir manqué un rendez-vous avec lui, lui avoue son impécuniosité et lui rend…compte des efforts déployés par Léontine B., une intrigante qui finira par compromettre Philoxène Boyer en raison de ses dettes, pour assister à une fête à laquelle elle n'est pas conviée et qui en retire une certaine jalousie : "Vous présumez bien, mon cher Lyrique, qu'il a fallu hier quelque chose de grave pour que j'aie manqué ce rendez-vous. Voici ce que je vous aurais dit : 1 - mon argent n'est pas venu ; mais il viendra. / 2 - Léontine s'entête. Je suis persuadé que je me suis très bien acquitté de ma commission de confiance. Je suis revenu à la charge trois fois. Quand enfin j'ai pu lui expliquer soigneusement que cette fête était familiale, secrète, que Boyer lui-même était censé l'ignorer, - elle m'a répondu : Eh bien, ce n'est plus un secret puisque je le sais." Enfin, tout en reconnaissant à Léontine "un tour d'esprit très original" et bien que l'attitude de cette encombrante intrigante : ". vous cause de l'inquiétude et je le comprends.", Charles Baudelaire plaide pour l'indulgence et la clémence : "puisqu'elle s'entête si fièrement je vous engagerais à laisser courir l'évènement. Ce n'est après tout que l'hommage d'un esprit étourdi." | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Handwritten letter dated and signed by Charles Baudelaire to Philoxène Boyer concerning the intriguing Léontine B. Paris 25 Juin 1854 | 11.5 x 18.5 cm | one page recto-verso Handwritten two-page letter, dated 25 June 1854, and signed by Charles Baudelaire to Philoxène Boyer, whom he calls «my dear Lyrique,» in which he apologises for having missed a meeting with him, he confesses his impecuniosity to him and reports to him on the efforts made by Léontine B., an intriguing person who will end up compromising Philoxène Boyer because of his debts, to attend a party to which she is not invited and which holds a certain jealousy: «You surely assume my dear Lyrique, that yesterday something serious happened for me to have missed this meeting. Here is what I would have told you: 1 my money has not come; but it will come. / 2 Léontine is obstinate. I am convinced that I have fulfilled my confidence mission very well. I came back three times. When I finally could explain to her carefully that this party was for family, secret, that Boyer himself was supposed to ignore it, she replied: Well it's no longer a secret since I know.» Finally, while recognising Léontine as «a very original turn of mind» and although the attitude of this troublesome scheme: «causes you worry and I understand.,» Charles Baudelaire pleads for indulgence and leniency: «since she persists so proudly, I would urge you to let the event run. It is after all only the homage of a dizzy mind.» *.
