Some members of the Comédie-Française company leaves for London where they perform until the 12th of July. Along with Got, Mounet-Sully, Sarah Bernhardt, the Coquelin aîné and cadet, Delaunay and others receive acclaim.
Dress rehearsal of Francis de Croisset's Chérubin, a piece unanimously approved by the Reading Committee on the 24th of April 1901. "For over a month now, we have been talking about nothing but this piece, this alleged masterpiece. We were told we were going to applaud a new Rostand". The rehearsal opens with false applause and then the disappointment and catcalls begin in the audience. Delayed at first, the play would never open.
