Claire Luce

Colette's Music Hall (L'envers Du Music-hall) Claire Luce

French music hall is similar to vaudeville in it's origins and performers. Colette knew a great deal about this milieu, and she wrote about it with compassion and humor. Claire Luce and Julie Haydon Nathan, ardent devotees of Colette, recorded some of her lesser-known stories about backstage life in French music halls. The Broadway theater experiences of Luce and Haydon Nathan make these five autobiographical stories even more vivid for the listener.
