Jane Avril - Paris - soir, dated 31st January 1941.

I came across this front page from the "Paris - soir" newspaper dated 31st January 1941. 
I'm keen to get my hands on a copy of this to ascertain what it's all about.
I think that the headline suggests the following: 
"Jane Avril - A star of Paris out of retirement for one last dance." 
As I say, I may be way off with my translation and if i'm wrong I hope someone will correct me. 
If it is correct it would be an amazing find as I have nothing to suggest she danced as late as 1941. I will have to investigate further.
Anyway, here it is. If nothing else it's nice to see Jane making the front pages of a paper from 1941 especially with a paper that had at that time a large circulation.

Very nice! The text is too small for me to read (plus my French is not that good so I probably couldn't translate anyway.)
I wonder what she looked like in 1941, probably old but still beautiful.
That picture must be from the same photoshoot as another one, or at least the same outfit (other kind of hat though.)
