Film of André Mayette in Paris with the Davenport family

Mayette’s magic shop in Paris was very well known, much like Davenports in London, and Conradi Horster or Bartl in Germany. The shop was in the centre of the city at 8 Rue Des Carmes, Paris V. This 1930s film shows the Davenports out walking in Paris with André Mayette and Madame Mayette. There are three generations of Davenports: a young Betty on the left, then Wynne, Lewis, Gus and Wyn. The Mayettes are in the front. Betty was born in 1934, so the date of the film would be mid 1930s.
