“FÈerie de Paris” was such a hit that the box office of the Casino de Paris had to be enlarged. The theme of the revue was a tour of Paris monuments, led by Mistinguett wearing a six-foot high Eiffel Tower of a costume. Van Caulaert could only fit part of it into this design–a great cascade of blue plumes, against which Mistinguett’s accessories and, well, other accessories stand out. The poster–produced for the enduring success of the show’s run "d’aprËs” the previous year’s original design–certainly doesn’t give away the star’s age at the time: 62. Van Caulaert’s specialty was portraits. He painted all the luminaries of his time and brought that skill to bear in his posters as well. He became the official painter of the French war department in the 1930s and his poster portraits include all the music hall and recording greats of France, such as Josephine Baker, CÈcile Sorel, Rina Ketty and, of course, Mistinguett. This is the smaller format.
