We are cruising thru and decided to look back deep into my blog ,and found me older pictures in my cd rom vault that should be in my blog for you and me. After driving running walking all over Paris over the years we got used to the finest things in life like theaters ! Let me continue my saga of the eternal city with a very nice monument often overlook but it should not.. Therefore, Let me tell you briefly about theThéâtre Tristan Bernard of Paris !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The Théâtre Tristan-Bernard theater is located at 64, rue du Rocher in the 8 éme arrondissement of Paris. Close to Batignolles, halfway between Place Clichy and the upmarket neighborhoods of the 8éme arrondissement, The Tristan Bernard Theater is named after the playwright, famous for his witticisms, who took over the direction in the 1930s and created many of his biting comedies there. Built in 1911 by the Léopold Bellan Foundation, it still has its headquarters at this address. To host meetings and educational performances for its girls’ institution, the hall opened to the public in 1919 under the name of Théâtre Albert-Ier, in honor of the King of the Belgians. Tristan Bernard took over as director in 1930. He renamed it Théâtre Tristan-Bernard and presented his comedies there for a season. After his departure, the theater regained its name of Théâtre Albert-Ier. In 1936, the actor Charles de Rochefort, who had returned from the United States where he had worked for Cecil B. de Mille, among others, reopened the hall, which had become Théâtre Charles-de-Rochefort. Mobilized and wounded during WWII, he had to hand over the management to his wife, the actress Mary Grant, a task she would carry out until 1972, with her son Jean Dejoux. In 1973, Dominique Nohain, son of the presenter Jean Nohain, bought the theatre and renamed it the Théâtre Tristan-Bernard . Edy Saiovici succeeded him in 1986 and ran the venue until his death in 2013; he was replaced by his wife Mireille. At the request of Edy Saiovici, Pascal Guillaume took over the artistic direction of the theater in 2013. He became its owner in 2014.

In 2010, 50 private Parisian theaters united within the Association for the Support of Private Theater (ASTP) and the National Union of Directors and Tour Operators of Private Theater (SNDTP), of which the Tristan-Bernard theater is a part, decided to join forces under a common banner: the Parisian Theaters Associated today Theaters and Associated Producers, Tristan Bernard, pen name of Paul Bernard, born in Besançon on September 7, 1866 and died in Paris 7th on December 7, 1947, is a French novelist and playwright. He is famous for his witticisms.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
