The Paris-Hollywood Thing?

At the Hollywood Bowl

2301 North Highland Avenue, Hollywood

As the Los Angeles Times reports, conductor John Mauceri conducts the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in a fireworks finale – and this finale celebrates "all things Parisian. The jazzy cabaret troupe Paris Combo makes its Bowl debut along with can-can dancers from the Moulin Rouge itself."

September 19 - 7:30 in the evening… just over the hill from the Just Above Sunset world headquarters. The distant thud of the end-of-season fireworks always makes Harriet-the-Cat look worried.

And the Moulin Rouge itself? I once rented an apartment around the corner from the Moulin Rouge, on avenue Rachel, a few steps from the lower entrance to the Montmartre cemetery, where the film director, or auteur as they say, François Truffaut now lies at rest. That area - the Clichy-Pigalle mess – is much like the seedy parts of Hollywood. They have their Erotic Museum, and we have ours. These can-can dancers will feel right at home.

The local Hollywood Erotic Museum was covered here - July 11, 2004 - Götterdämmerung, Hollywood Style.

Oh yeah, Gene Kelly ended up dancing with Leslie Caron in "An American in Paris" - filmed almost entirely down the hill at the MGM sound stages in Culver City. MGM recreated a faux Paris a few miles from here in the early fifties, then disassembled it. Paris – Hollywood.
