La direction en fut confiee a Pierre LOUIS-GUERIN. D'importants amenagements en firent le temple de la revue a grand spectacle. La beaute des danseuses, le luxe des costumes, la classe des attractions, la rapidite du rythme firent que le LIDO devint rapidement "le plus celebre cabaret du monde".

In 1946 a group headed by Joseph and Louis CLERICO opened, in the heart of the Champs-Elysees, a luxurious establishment decorated by H. RIGAL : The LIDO. The management was put into the hands of Pierre LOUIS- GUERIN. Considerable remodeling transformed it into a glittering plalace of luxurious revues, and the LIDO rapidly became "the most celebrated cabaret in the world". The beauty of the dancers, the richness and colour of their cos- turns, the high quality of their attractions, the rapidity of their tempo reached its highest degree. The fame of the LIDO shows has spread far and wide. Recently a critic ?çwrote : "Both the Foreigners and the French, when coming to Paris, first visit the Eiffel Tower and the LIDO. Cree par une importante entreprise Internationale de spectacle SEGSMHI est exploite par la societe VAL. Le cabaret restaurant Normandie concu et admirable- ment decore par les architectes Bartoccini, Peynet et Veccia est le plus grand et le plus luxueux d'Europe pour ne pas dire du monde. II presente depuis 1977 les revues du LIDO. A l'heure du spectacle le plancher de la salle s'enfonce dans le sol avec les spectateurs, degageant ainsi la piste de danse qui devient la scene. Le NORMANDIE possede une imbrication de passerelles escamotables, piste de glace, piscine, elevateurs qui font que, grace a cette gigantesque machinerie, la revue du LIDO devient un spectacle en cinemascope et technicolor fabuleux. Cabaret-Restaurant NORMANDIE Societe VflL Since 1977, The LIDO presents its show in a new room on the Champs-Elysees : The cabaret restaurant NORMANDIE. This establishment, created by an important international show business group SEGSMHI, conceived and beautifully decorated by the architects Peynet, Bartoccini and Veccia, is the largest and also the most luxurious night club in Europe, if not in the world. Management is handled by VAL. s.a. As the show starts, the dining floor goes down with all the spectators leaving the dance floor which becomes an elevated stage. The NORMANDIE possesses a network of movable platforms, ice floor, swimming pool, elevators, comparable to nowhere. Thanks to his gigantic machinery the LIDO revue has become a show in fabulous technicolor cinemascope.
