Synopsis
Trois especes de spectateurs composent ce qu'on est convenu d'appeler le public : premierement, les femmes ; deuxiemement, les penseurs ; troisiemement, la foule proprement dite. Ce que la foule demande presque exclusivement a l'oeuvre dramatique, c'est de l'action ; ce que les femmes y veulent avant tout, c'est de la passion ; ce qu'y cherchent plus specialement les penseurs, ce sont des caracteres.
