Sur le seuil
À l’abri du passage, un couple s’est installé sur le seuil d’une porte pour manger rapidement une petite collation. Quelques minutes volées au rythme de la journée, assis côte à côte dans un espace qui n’était pas destiné à devenir un lieu de repas. La rue devient alors une salle à manger improvisée, offrant un instant de pause et de proximité au milieu du tumulte urbain.

The Postcard
A carte postale published by C.M. of Le Havre.
The card was posted in Sainte-Adresse on Saturday the 19th. January 1935 to:
Mr. & Mrs. Prado,
58 Green Lane North,
Wavertree,
Liverpool,
G.B.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"19.1.35
In case you have not heard
from Ed., he arrived OK in
Frankfurt a.m.
He says it's bitterly cold.
Probably I shall leave this
dear place on the 28th. or
29th. - off to Paris for 2 or 3
days, then off to Germany.
Today is cold but oh! so
sunny, so blue, so calm.
You still have time to write
here.
Ed. says it's a fine town -
very clean & splendid
organisation to be greatly
admired.
Love from your old Maman".
Sainte-Adresse
Sainte-Adresse is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in Normandy, France. It is a coastal suburb situated some 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Le Havre city centre. The English Channel forms the western border of the commune.
The town's population was 8,068 in 2006.
Henri de Gaulle and his wife Jeanne, parents of Charles de Gaulle, are buried in the town.
History of Sainte-Adresse
Starting in 1905, Georges Dufayel, a Parisian businessman, created a residential seaside resort known as Nice Havrais (the "Nice of Le Havre"), at Sainte Adresse. The local architect Ernest Daniel directed operations.
The Avenue de Regatta on the waterfront is designed in the image of the promenade des Anglais in Nice.
During the Great War, Sainte-Adresse was the administrative capital of Belgium. The Belgian government in exile was installed from October 1914 to November 1918 in the Dufayel building, named after the businessman who had built it in 1911. It had at its disposal a post office using Belgian postage stamps.
During World War II, the Germans built several fortifications here for the Atlantic Wall, to defend the port of Le Havre.

Tighty-Whiteys
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 19th. January 1935, briefs were first sold by Coopers, Inc., in Chicago, Illinois, at Marshall Field's department store.
They dubbed the new undergarment the "Jockey" because it offered a similar degree of support as the jockstrap.
The designer of the new style was reportedly inspired by a postcard he had received from a friend visiting the French Riviera depicting a man in a very short, form-fitting bathing suit.
30,000 pairs were sold within three months of their introduction.
In North America, "jockey shorts" or "jockeys" became an often-used generic term for men's briefs. More recently, "tighty-whiteys" has become a commonly used slang term for briefs.
In the UK, briefs were first sold in 1938. Soon, shops were selling 3,000 pairs of briefs per week. They were so popular that in 1948, every member of the British Olympic team was given a free pair.
In the UK, the term "jockeys" has never caught on, and briefs are often referred to as "Y-fronts" or simply "pants".
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by J. Beagles & Co. of London E.C. The photography was by Ellis & Walery of Conduit Street and later Regent Street, London, and the card was printed in England.
J. Beagles & Co.
The firm of J. Beagles & Co. was started by John Beagles (1844-1909). The company produced a variety of postcards including an extensive catalogue of celebrity (stage and screen) portrait postcards. After Beagle’s death, the business continued under its original name until it closed in 1939.
Miss Zena Dare
Zena Dare was born Florence Hariette Zena Dones in Chelsea on Friday the 4th. February 1887.
She became an English singer and actress who was famous for her performances in Edwardian musical comedy.
She first performed on stage in 1899, at the age of 12, in the Christmas pantomime 'Babes in the Wood'.
Her sister Phyllis, 3½ years her junior, was also cast in the production, and they both adopted the stage name of Dare. Phyllis also became a well-known musical comedy actress.
During the Great War, Zena nursed injured and dying soldiers for 3 years at Mrs. Vanderbilt's American Hospital in France, and a thoroughbred horse was named after her.
Like many of her musical comedy actress contemporaries, Zena married into the aristocracy; she married the Hon. Maurice Baliol Brett, the second son of Lord Esher.
Zena's last theatrical rôle was as Mrs. Higgins, Henry Higgins' mother, in the original London production of 'My Fair Lady', beginning in 1958 and running for 5½ years.
The production was a runaway success, and its 2,281 performances were seen by a huge number of people.
Zena featured in a number of silent films and talkies, including 'The Return of Carol Deane' (1938) and 'Over the Moon' (1939). In 1963, she was the special guest on an episode of 'This is Your Life' on BBC television.
The Death of Zena Dare
Zena died on Tuesday the 11th. March 1975, having lived for 88 years, 1 month and 7 days. Her sister Phyllis died only six weeks later.
Sir Seymour Hicks
Sir Edward Seymour Hicks (30th. January 1871, St. Helier, Jersey – 6th. April 1949, Hampshire), was a British actor, music hall performer, playwright, screenwriter, actor-manager and producer.
He became known, early in his career, for writing, starring in and producing Edwardian musical comedy, often together with his famous wife, Ellaline Terriss. His most famous acting role was that of Ebeneezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens's 'A Christmas Carol'.
Making his stage début at the age of nine and performing professionally by sixteen, Hicks joined a theatrical company and toured America before starring in 'Under the Clock' in 1893, the first musical revue ever staged in London.
Following this, he starred in a revival of 'Little Jack Sheppard' at the Gaiety Theatre, London which brought him to the attention of impresario George Edwardes. Edwardes cast Hicks in his next show, 'The Shop Girl', in 1894.
Its success led to his participation in two more of Edwardes's hit "girl" musicals, 'The Circus Girl' (1896) and 'A Runaway Girl' (1898), both starring Terriss. He first played the role of Ebeneezer Scrooge in 1901 and eventually played it thousands of times onstage.
Hicks, along with his wife, joined the producer Charles Frohman in his theatre company and wrote and starred in a series of extraordinarily successful musicals, including 'Bluebell in Fairyland' (1901), 'Quality Street' (1902), 'The Earl and the Girl' (1903) and 'The Catch of the Season' (1904).
Hicks used his fortune from these shows to commission the building of the Aldwych Theatre in 1905 and the Hicks Theatre in 1906, opening the latter with a new hit show, 'The Beauty of Bath'.
His stage performances were less successful in later years, and he opted instead to star in music hall tours, including 'Pebbles on the Beach' (1912). He continued to write light comedies, the most popular of which was 'The Happy Day' (1916).
On film, he first appeared in 'Scrooge' and 'David Garrick', both from 1913. Later notable films included 'The Lambeth Walk' (1939) and 'Busman's Honeymoon' (1940).
The Catch of the Season
'The Catch of the Season' is an Edwardian musical comedy by Seymour Hicks and Cosmo Hamilton, with music by Herbert Haines and Evelyn Baker, and lyrics by Charles H. Taylor, based on the fairy tale 'Cinderella'. A debutante is engaged to a young aristocrat, but loves a pageboy.
The musical premiered at the Vaudeville Theatre in London in 1904 and ran for 621 performances. It starred Hicks, Zena Dare and Camille Clifford. The New York production, in 1905, starred Edna May at Daly's Theatre.
The show was produced internationally and was revived until the First World War.

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard published by J. Beagles & Co. of London E.C., with photography by the Stereoscopic Co. The card is a real high-definition photograph, and it has a divided back which means that it was published after September 1902.
The firm of J. Beagles & Co. was started by John Beagles (1844-1909). The company produced a variety of postcards including an extensive catalogue of celebrity (stage and screen) portrait postcards. After Beagle’s death, the business continued under its original name until it closed in 1939.
Sir John Martin-Harvey
Sir John Martin-Harvey (22nd. June 1863 – 14th. May 1944), known before his knighthood in 1921 as John Martin Harvey, was an English stage and screen actor.
The Early Years
Born in Bath Street, Wivenhoe, Essex, he was the son of John Harvey, a yacht-designer and shipbuilder, and Margaret Diana Mary (née Goyder). His father expected him to follow his own profession, but Martin-Harvey had his sights set on the stage.
One of his father's clients was the dramatist W. S. Gilbert, and it was through Gilbert that young Martin-Harvey met his first teacher, John Ryder.
Martin-Harvey joined Sir Henry Irving's Lyceum Theatre company in 1882. For many years he played only minor parts in Irving's productions.
Early on in Irving's company, when cast as the attendant to the messenger in the scene with Beatrice in 'Much Ado About Nothing', Martin-Harvey decided that here was his opportunity to be more than a mere extra with a non-speaking part:
"I bought a remarkable feather and
wore it in my hat, and on the day of
the dress rehearsal I painted on my
face a very elaborate moustache.
Alas! my efforts were unavailing.
I expect in Irving's critical eyes I was
a figure of fun.
Irving pointed his lean forefinger at
me, and with that dreadful preliminary,
'Ha, hm,' of his, he growled. "Take out
that boy."
I had to come on with the crowd as
usual."
Martin's most famous play was first produced at the Lyceum on the 16th. February 1899. This was 'The Only Way', an adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'A Tale of Two Cities' in which he played the lead role of Sydney Carton.
Many other plays followed, along with many tours in both Great Britain and North America. His success was always greater in Canada than the United States.
The Later Years
After Sir Henry Irving's death in 1905, Martin-Harvey continued to revive his old manager's plays, often using Irving's own props which he had bought.
These plays included 'The Bells' and 'The Lyons Mail'. His early successes included Palléas in Maeterlinck's 'Palléas and Melisande', with Mrs. Patrick Campbell as Melisande and incidental music written for the production by Gabriel Fauré.
His later successes included 'A Cigarette-maker's Romance', Oedipus (in Max Reinhardt's Covent Garden production), Shaw's 'The Devil's Disciple' and Maeterlinck's 'The Burgomaster of Stilemonde'.
'The Corsican Brothers'
Sir John also appeared in The Corsican Brothers.
The Corsican Brothers is a novella by Alexandre Dumas, first published in 1844. It is the story of two conjoined brothers who, though separated with a scalpel at birth, can still feel each other's pains. It has been adapted many times on the stage and in film.
The story starts in March 1841, when the narrator travels to Corsica and stays at the home of the widow Savilia de Franchi. She is the mother of former conjoined twins Louis and Lucien. Louis is a lawyer in Paris, while Lucien clings to his Corsican roots and stays at his mother's home.
The brothers were separated at birth by a doctor. Despite being separated, Louis and Lucien can still feel each other's emotions, even at a distance. Lucien explains he has a mission to undertake, with reluctance. He has to mediate in a vendetta between the Orlandi and Colona families and invites the narrator to accompany him and meet the head of the Orlandi family.
The play 'The Corsican Brothers', by Dion Boucicault, based on the story, was first seen in 1852.
'The Only Way'
Martin-Harvey and his wife Angelita worked on an adaptation of 'A Tale of Two Cities', later involving playwright Freeman Wills and Irish clergyman Canon Frederick Langbridge.
There was already a play called 'Sidney Carton, or a Tale of Two Cities' and it was Angelita who came up with the title 'The Only Way'.
By the time he retired, Martin-Harvey claimed to have performed 'The Only Way' more than 3,000 times, though this would not have been possible in reality.
'The Only Way' was made into a film in 1927 that was shot at Twickenham Studios and was a commercial success. It starred Martin Harvey in the lead role.
Martin-Harvey's Business Interests
One of Martin-Harvey's personal friends was theatre manager William Morton. In 1902 Morton's Ltd. was formed to build the Alexandra Theatre in Hull. Martin-Harvey was made one of five directors, investing £1,000, and remained so until the theatre was sold in 1935.
Martin-Harvey and his touring company paid an annual visit to Hull and to Morton's theatres, which also included the Theatre Royal and The Grand Opera House.
Martin-Harvey's Personal life
In 1889 he married Angelita Helena Maria de Silva Ferro, daughter of a Chilean consul and a fellow actor in Irving's company who used the stage name Miss N. de Silva. They had two children, Muriel Martin-Harvey and Michael Martin-Harvey, both successful actors.
Martin-Harvey and The Great War
During the Great War, Martin-Harvey and his wife toured the country giving military recruitment lectures and raising money for the Red Cross and other charities, most notably the Nation's Fund for Nurses.
The couple raised enough money to buy a building for the College of Nursing in 1920 which became a rest home for nurses.
Notable Films of Martin-Harvey
Notable films featuring Sir John Martin-Harvey include:
- A Cigarette-Maker's Romance (1913)
- The Broken Melody (1916)
- The Breed of the Treshams (1920)
- The Only Way (1927)
- The Burgomaster of Stilemonde (1929)
- The Lyons Mail (1931)
Death of Sir John Martin-Harvey
Sir John Martin-Harvey died in 1944 at his home in East Sheen, Richmond, Surrey, aged 80.
