He gave it the name "Alcazar d'Été", and the "Alcazar" became "Alcazar d'Hiver". It is today the "Pavilion Gabriel". (Wikipedia) Important performers at Alcazar d'ete include the famous Mistinguett and Yvette Guilbert. SEM (signature) was the pseudonym of Georges Goursat, an artist very active in France during the Belle Epoque and tightly involved in its cabaret culture. This particular poster is unlike the remainder of SEM's pieces in style, drawing on the influence of the great Jules Cheret.
