[THEATER Project of ] Henry DAMART, Dramatic Author: Reunion of original manuscripts of plays given in Paris in 1900-1905: VANITAS, Comedy in prose, four acts and an epilogue; -Revue 1902; ->L'Article; -Jean Richard, comedy in 5 acts and in prose by H & L Damart, 1900; -Bichette, play in two acts in prose, 1902; -L'Argent, comedy in four acts in prose.
