Théâtre de l'Étoile (Champs-Élysées)

It is not to be confused with a completely unrelated theatre, also called Théâtre de l'Étoile, which operated from 1928 to 1964 on the Avenue Wagram.

The new theatre, decorated in a colour scheme of red and gold, was situated on the first floor of a building on the corner of Avenue des Champs-Élysées and Rue Balzac.

The building's penthouse was occupied by the flamboyant art collector and interior designer Carlos de Beistegui.

[3] In 1925 Franck sold the Étoile to Camille Choisy, the manager of the Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, and Jacques Jouvin, one of the directors there.

[6] At the Étoile, they premiered René Mercier's operetta Le Pêché capiteux starring Arletty in September 1925 and in November staged Josephine Baker's show La Revue Nègre after its initial run at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
