Autograph letter dated and signed by the playwright Jacques Audiberti addressed to Carlo Rim (19 lines in blue ink) about his film chronicles acting as a memory box for Jacques Audiberti:
"25 décembre 1959,
Cher Carlo Rim, avec bien de l'amusement je lis vos souvenirs de cinéma dans "France Soir". Il m' été piquant de retrouver, dans vos souvenirs, l'idée d'une pièce, où vous présentez Mistinguett, que j'ai écrite et fait jouer aux "Noctambules" - ah ! qu'André ryba y brillait ! - quelque part vers 1947 ["25 December 1959,
Dear Carlo Rim, with great amusement I read your cinema memoirs in "France Soir". It was piquant for me to find, in your memories, the idea of a play, where you present Mistinguett, which I wrote and had performed at the "Noctambules" - ah! how André Ryba shone there! - somewhere around 1947 "] (actually 1950, it was "Le mal court" which was created in 1947 at the "Noctambules"). Il y tenait le rôle de la "vieille". L'histoire était exactement celle que vous racontez. La pièce s'appelait, et s'appelle, "Sa peau". Mistinguett n'y était pas présente, sauf que (mot illisible) à la fin, elle tuait son jeune "double". Ravi de cette occasion de me rappeler à vous, cher Carlo Rim, croyez-moi, je vous prie, très amicalement votre. Jacques Audiberti. 3 bis rue des Lyonnais Paris V." ["He played the role of the "old woman". The story was exactly the one you tell. The play was called, and is called, "Sa peau". Mistinguett was not present in it, except that (illegible word) at the end, she killed her young "double". Delighted by this opportunity to remind you of me, dear Carlo Rim, believe me, I beg you, very amicably yours. Jacques Audiberti. 3 bis rue des Lyonnais Paris V."]
