| Description: | BLUE HOTEL PARIS Hotel Pavillon Bleu, luxury hotel / restaurant in Paris, 1925. Paris, France Low ang shot domed corner tower with large sign "Pavillon Bleu Hotel" in lights (but not lighted, as this is daytime). A view of a side of the hotel facing a garden-like area; the whole side of building seen here either has giant windows or is open entirely to a long veranda; down a staircase is a lower terrace and both levels have tables with fashionable types sitting at them; there are small trees in pots on the patio and it seems to be surrounded with tall trees - -lovely! Shot from interior area of dining room contiguous with the veranda; tables are full both inside and out and; all that openness and windows makes the inside area also very light and airy. Next, another section of the restaurant; like a Palm Court; w/ many big parlor palms gracefully bending over tables crowded with diners; expert waiters hurrying about their work; while in BG a few couples are dancing- -très elégante. Wide shot from across street of part of front of hotel; a row of tables on a balcony on 2nd floor; floor above this has very tall windows; the building has sculpted decorations and in bas-relief at the top are large letters "____CINO RESTAURANT" (Beginning part of name is missing. Closer shot sidewalk cafe in front of hotel w/ balcony above it. Hi angle shots of couples dancing in ballroom with ornate designs on walls; low lights; orchestra playing; some tables off at side in BG. Lots of 1920s fashions, cloche hats; etc. MLS reflection in mirror of couples dancing. | |
