Saint-Pol-Roux, a banquet, a picture: Answers & results

The game is over. The answers, though relatively few, however, allow me to designate a winner and provide some details on this prestigious meeting. Say it with no shame: I did not know the exact date of the banquet. Nicolas Galaud, who gave valuable comments, ahead of the June 21, 1936, saying it could be the "Banquet of the Academy Mallarme" organized "for the Fiftieth Anniversary of Symbolism." The date is not unlikely and we retain as a very serious assumption, but in this case, it can be a tablée academics Mallarme, since the Academy will be born a few months later, in February 1937 . It also will be born at the Cinquantenaire, as Minerva, the skull of Dujardin-Jupiter, the idea of founding this institution poetry news. Let us therefore, Magris all, dated 21 (or around) June 1936, although the presence of some young people that we have not found the names in the minutes of breakfast, appeared at the time, would suggest that the banquet would take place rather then in 1937, before the month of December. The identification of a ONZAIN of guests will - who knows? - Better understand the circumstances of the event.

I could not identify the woman headed to the right of Dujardin. It does not seem that he could include Rachilde. Some profiles are still to be named. The presence of Viele-Griffin ensures that the banquet was held before December 1937 - the poet of Yelda Ride of the disappearing 11. Do not hesitate, strengths of this new information, to post new comments to clarify the nature and date of this friendly celebration, also perfect for identifications. Meanwhile, bestow the award to David Nadeau, who will, when its release have me address, a copy of Saint-Pol-Roux crucified Paul-T. Pelleau.
