Our sensitive André Dubois is marrying hard-boiled Carmen Tessier. For years he was a promoter of the “underprivileged,” both generally and specifically: he negotiated the Jewish exodus from Germany, and championed Boulez before anyone else did. For years she’s been Europe’s answer to Louella Parsons with a daily column in France-Soir. Though he’s now Chief of Police and known as the “Prefect of Silence” (having forbidden honking), she continues professionally to be called La Commère, or The Gossip. He, for years a Gidean admirer of tasteful youth, now says to her at parties, “Raise your skirts, chérie, and show us the bruises we made last night!” Well, we all evolve; and opposites attract, as Cocteau couldn’t help pointing out: “Le Préfet du Silence épouse la Commère.”
