L'Écho de Paris 07 juin 1923 Party at the Palais-Royal |
|
The Palais-Royal will be reborn for four days Game, show, ball These mediocre, little verses, which are by Désaugiers, will find a provisional topicality. The Palais-Royel is reborn. For four Days — from today until June 10 — these walls, these Gardens, which were, over the course of two centuries, witnesses to the political life of Paris, to so many convulsions, from the Fronde to the Commune, will find again the favor of the public, and this astonishing physiognomy, which was that of a sort of European bazaar, which was shared by gambling, commerce and licentiousness. Doubtless we shall not see the famous 113 again, where so many skins of shagreen shrunk during the devouring banks of the Pharaoh, but the pools will reflect, besides a profusion of lights, formerly unknown, the grace of lionesses and marvelous ones, and even the debonair silhouette of King Louis-Philippe surrounded by his court. It is curious to note that the organizers of these four days of reconstitution (these are, guided by the very sure taste of Miss Jayal, the Union of Industries and Commerces of luxury, and the Committee of the festivals of the 1°" arrondissement) have , to help some fine charitable works — Armoire Lorraine, anti-tuberculosis dispensary, emergency aid in devastated regions — took over the project formerly carried out by Philippe-Egalité, while the prodigality of this prince was digging "Incessant deficits in a shaky budget. And this is how we are going to find these wooden stalls, these hasty galleries rented to traders of all kinds, which will remake the garden saddened by abandonment, a teeming and colorful fair. But beware of imagining that it is a question of a kind of fair. It is indeed a reconstruction that it is, scrupulous as much as skilful, and in which a whole swarm of renowned artists have collaborated. The administration of the Mobilier National lent its assistance and its tapestries. So many are those who brought their dedication and their talent to allow a sumptuous realization, that it would be useless to want to enumerate their names. We said the party starts today. Mr. Millerand will be received Saturday morning by the organizers. Until Sunday evening (see the program we give elsewhere), we can hang out at the Guibray fair, in front of the Tabarin trestle, at the Palais-Royal circus, we can have a ball and have dinner; there will be a green theater, goat carts, donkeys, musical recreations and a thousand other things. Adults and children, lovers of bygone impressions and enthusiasts of modern pleasures, everyone will find what they are looking for.
