be coming back. often. III be
glad To But. IN the meantime.
Ia be interested in knowing
something about the history of
this establishment which. with
out question. Is the most famous
place Of its kind IN the world.
"Maxim's, There's no other one
like il. It's IN a class by itself.
And all I ever really knew about
the place. / must admit, came
from those plays and moving pic
tures-La. Dame de Chez Max
inns. by Georges Feydeau, writ
ten just before the turn in the
century, wasn't it?-and then
made into a picture by Alexander
Korda Then there was that other
play, lie Chasseur de Chez
MaXim's. by Yves Miranda It's
true. isn't il. that this character
was taken from real life Be
fore the war, you see, l was in
the moving picture business, my
self"
Certainly. Monsieur lie Baron.
The Chasseur was taken from
real life. And as to the ladies
Of Maxim's. they haven't really
changed at all, except for the
manner in which they dress and
wear their hair . Incidentally.
with your permission. Monsieur
lie Baron, shall introduce you to
someone-to som cone very
charming-who will be delighted.
I'm sure, to tell you something
about the history of this Tenn
pie Of Pleasure, so to speak"
You mean, a woman ?"
Naturally. will you be good
enough to wait a moment?"
Alfred was surprisingly alert
and active, in view of his weight.
He hurried away, and reap
peared, a moment later, with a
handsome woman of thirty or so.
She was a brunette, quite tall,
with creamy skin and eyes that
seemed to glow like living en-
bers.
The Baron" stepped forward
to meet her. He bowed, "ShaH
we sit down."
with pleasure, Monsieur" the
young woman replied Il shall
be very glad to converse with
you for a while. You are the
Baron. aren't you?"
Il am" he replied. But only
for this evening And you-you
are a Partisan, aren't your"

They all laughed.

LIFE IN CONQUERED PARIS

After a moment. Alfred with
drew. The waiter uncorked a
bottle of champagne; filled the
two glasses with the sand
colored, bubbling wine.
The young woman took a sip;
then another. And then she
turned TO the Baron" and said:
The story Of Maxim's?.. -.
Well. I think the story really
begins on July Il. 1s90-the Ma
tional Holiday. you know, the an
niversary of the taking of the
Bastille - and on that day an
Italian confectioner. named I'M
oda. whose shop was located
right here on the ground floor,
at No. 3, Rue Royaie, huffg cut
a German flag.
Why? Nobody ever knew
what prompted him to do it. He
may have had some argument or
trouble with some Frenchmen.
He may have wanted to show
how he really felt about France.
Nobody knows. But in those
days people weren't inclined to
tolerate such a thing.
And this German flag had
been displayed you see, at place
that was less than 100 meters
from the Place de la Concorde,
where the statue of Strasbourg
was still draped in mourning in
memory of the annexation of
Alsaee-Lorraine by the Germans
Well a group of veterans of
the War of 1870 was marching
down the Rue Royale. They saw
this flag. They protested. A
crowd soon gathered. Feelings
ran high. And in a very few min
utes the entire shop had been
smashed, utterly demolished.
The Italian confectioner was
subsequently found in the cellar.
He had very nearly been beaten
to death. In fact, he had been
saved from total lynching by the
police. AS soon as he was able
to travel, he was deported from
France And so, you see, the
story of MaXim's begins with a
German flag-and fifty years
later, to the day almost, the Ger
man flag was again to be hoisted
over the entrance to No. 3, Rue
Royale."
Strange coincidence" tn e
Baron said.
Isn't it? But wait" she said.
There's lots more to be told. .
The shop. as l said, had been
smashed to bits. and for that rea-
son a waiter was able to buy up
the place reasonably. He made
the necessary repairs and then
opened up a restaurant there. His
name was Maxine Gaillard. The
restaurant was called Maxime's.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-18

persuading the Minister of the
Interior. A considerable sum of
money was advanced from the
Governments secret fund, and
Maxime's was promptly trans
formed into an establishment de
luxe. Furthermore, in, Difference
to English taste, the name of
Maxine was changed to Max
inns"
The Baron" smiled.
The English" he said. al
ways the English"
He was not in the least an
noyed, however. He was in excel
lent humor. He emptied his third
glass of champagne.
GO on" he said. Tell me
some more"
We'll" she said. the new
Maxim's opened its door in 1898,
on the day of the fashionable
PriX de Diane classic race
for three-year-old fillies, you
know-and, as far as the ladies
we're concerned and the fashion
parade in the paddock, this was
always the smartest day of the
Partisan racing season. My
mother was still working at
MaXim's, and she often spoke of
this brilliant opening.
1T was the height of fashion,
in those days, to be driven home
from the races in a mail-coach
drawn by four perfectly matched
horses. And that night, my
mother used to tell me, every
body who counted in Paris, sim
ply everybody, was seen at
MaXim's at some time or other
during that opening night There
were Princes, Dukes, Cabinet
Ministers, writer's and artists and
financiers- and women. the beau
tiful ones and the clever ones,
and first and foremost, of course,
those famous courtesans of the
day Lame de Pougy, Emilienne
dAlencon and Rose de May. e.
From the very beginning, Max
inns had an atmosphere of its
own. Maxim's has always at
tracted not only people with too
much money, but also people of
taste, of intelligence.
That must be why Maxim's
has always been such a constant
success. People went there to
be amused, to hear the latest
witty story, and to see the most
attractive and sometimes the
most notorious women in Paris.
My mother worked in the
cloak-room for a while. And so,
naturally, she saw all the eelebri-
ties and dignitaries who used to
come here regularly. One of the
most interesting anecdotes she
told me was about Lame de
Pougy, who met Prince Ghyka,
the Rumanian Ambassador right
here at Maxim's and finally mar
ried him.
Before she met him, she used
to come here every night, and
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-18

she would make it a point 70
wear some new jewels almost
every day, in order to dazzle and
enrage her rival, La Belle Otero,
the celebrated Spanish danseuse.
Otero. as you may know, used
to be seen a great deal in the
company of a rather stout gen.
tleman with a beard; he was not
yet Edward VII, but merely the
Prince of Wales.
well, La Belle Otero, not TO
be outdone, always managed to
display new pieces of jewelry
that were just a bit more strik-
ing and valuable than those
Lame de Pougy had worn the
night before.
This competition went on for
some time. until at last Lame de
Pougy appeared at Maxim's one
evening. dressed very simply ana
wearing not one single necklace,
bracelet or ring; while La Belle
Otero. of course, was literally
-ahlaze with jewels.
Everyone was amazed natur-
ally, at seeing Lame gotten up
so modestly. A moment later,
however, it was noticed that she
was not alone; she was being
followed by a young woman
her chambermaid-who was just
simply dripping from head to
foot with a most extraordinary
collection of pearls and precious
stones, with a sort of royal dia-
dem in her hair, and wearing
slippers covered with diamonds.
After recovering from the
shock, everyone began laughing.
They understood the point Lame
was trying to make. They
laughed with her and not at her.
La Belle Otero got up in rage
and walked out of the place. Her
royal companion. it is said, could
not help laughing. himself And
this little incident, in fact, meant
the lend of their relationship"
The Baron" laughed. too.
Very amusing" he said Very
amusing indeed. And how about
ordering another bottle of cham
payne ?"
why not?"
THE night is young" he said.
And your story is very inter-
esting. Tell me some more about
Maxim's. won't you?
Well" she said, the name
of Maxim's soon became famous
all over Europe. When foreign
statesmen and m IN bers of
Europe's highest nobility visited
Paris. they invariably looked in
at Maxim's at least once, for
lunch or for dinner. | think it
may be said without exaggeration
that many of the most important
political questions of the past
fifty years-questions concerning
not only France, but all of
Europe been discussed and
