The conductor wrote that he arrived at the psychiatric hospital with a friend to visit another friend and began quietly telling stories in the hallway about Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich. He reminisced about their imitation of Chinese and about an incident with the actor Vydra the elder, whom, according to his story, they got drunk and bet that during a performance at the National Theatre he would set Jan Hus free. According to the Conductor, Vydra actually did it and received a fine of about five thousand crowns. The conductor stated that the patients listened to his stories and that he cheered up half of the ward. When leaving, he replied to the nurse who asked whom the "devils were carrying" that one devil was leaving. He wrote that she laughed and that he ended the Sunday with wine. #psychologie #humor #divadlo (translated)
