A summer evening in Paris, full of gaiety and colour. Dusk is creeping between the chestnut-trees in the Bois, down on to the Grands Boulevards. The terrasses of the cafes are thronged with people. Along the pavements under the stars the crowds stroll, laughing and talking, clustering at the newspaper kiosks, staring into the brilliant windows of the luxury-shops...
...The day's work is over. Paris is herself again. Paris! What shall we do this evening? Dinner at Prunier or under the trees at Armenonville? And then-Racine at the Odeon or a barbaric, colourful revue at the Folies? Champagne and Charleston in the Place Pigalle, or bock and the Java in Montparnasse? No, let's go to the Capucines, or some other intimate theatre for one of those light, sparkling revues beloved of Parisians, full of wit and melody and topical satire. It is to one of these revues intimes that Alice Delysia is taking us tonight. Paris Calling! Stand by....
