Czech Republic

May 19, 2014

Marie sent me this great card from the Czech Republic.

She wrote that she is sending this card with Czech actor Jan Werich.  He's important to her, because he played or wrote roles of people who have life wisdom which passed on in a funny way.  He made a very significant artistic DVD with Jiri Voskovec (V&W).  Her favourite quote of Werich's is : If somebody already is, then he should see to it that he be, and when he sees that he be and is, then he must make sure that he is what he is, and is not what he isn't - as is the case in most cases. [I think it may lose something in translation.]

Jan Werich (1975)
by Taras Kuščynskyj

About the stamp, she says Vlasta Burian  was nicknamed the King of Comedians, who is very famous even now when his movies are still running on TV.  

She closes by sending Greetings from the Heart of Europe. Thanks Marie!
