If he had
acquitted himself well as Figaro-Scaramouche, he excelled himself
in the new piece, the scenario of which would appear to be very
much the better of the two.
After Maure came Pipriac, where four performances were given, two
of each of the scenarios that now formed the backbone of the Binet
repertoire. In both Scaramouche, who was beginning to find himself,
materially improved his performances. So smoothly now did the two
pieces run that Scaramouche actually suggested to Binet that after
Fougeray, which they were to visit in the following week, they
should tempt fortune in a real theatre in the important town of
Redon. The notion terrified Binet at first, but coming to think
of it, and his ambition being fanned by Andre-Louis, he ended by
allowing himself to succumb to the temptation.
It seemed to Andre-Louis in those days that he had found his real
metier, and not only was he beginning to like it, but actually to
look forward to a career as actor-author that might indeed lead
him in the end to that Mecca of all comedians, the Comedie
Francaise.
