APOLLO OF BELLAC

'''The Apollo of Bellac''' is a comedic play in one act by Jean Giraudoux, set in the reception room of The International Bureau of Inventions, during autumn in Paris, France. It focuses on a timid, young woman by the name of Agnes. She is given the most powerful secret in life by a homeless man. The secret is to tell all men that they are handsome and they will play right into your hands. She quickly catches on and the men of the Bureau fall for her left and right. It ends with her meeting the handsome, (and single) Chairman of the Board, and everyone wondering what has happened to the great man named Apollo (the homeless inventor) who quietly slipped away.
