    Description

    This trio from my father's 1962 trip to Paris go beautifully together. The Folies Bergere theatre program includes the torn-in-half ticket, and the velour-like surface is in excellent shape (as is the gold graphic). The Moulin Rouge super revue that evening was Cancan (choreographed by Doriss Haug). And the back of the Jour et Nuit menu not only has a fascinating collection of replica signatures but a few added by my father and his party. These sat in a drawer in Louisville for about 45 years, and have since been following me around... waiting for me to find them a home.
    I have digitized his 8mm films from this European adventure, and if the buyer is interested I can pass along a video from the Paris segment of the trip to put these documents into historical context.
