La Nuit du Theatre / Luna Park. 1928.
"Luna Park was an amusement park at the Porte Maillot, near the Place de l'Etoile. Its director was Leon Volterra, who was the most important influence on the Parisian entertainment business for 30 years, as head of the Olympia, the Lido, the Théâtre de Paris, the Marigny, and other establishments. It was at Luna Park, on June 29, 1928, that a night of festivities was planned to raise money for a charity for needy, retired actors. Colin, as he was to do for so many groups and on so many occasions in the future, donated his talents to this worthy cause and in the process created a most delightful poster and—since it looks like it's going to be a fun evening and we'd want to go there for sure—a most effective poster as well" (Colin, p. 8).
