This café-concert was first directed by Joseph Mayer, then by Arsène Goubert who attracted the singer Thérésa (Emma Valladon) from her position at the

Goubert acquired another establishment, on the
Champs-Elysées, which he called "
Alcazar d'Été", logically renaming the "Alcazar" to "Alcazar d'Hiver".
[French ''Été'' = Summer, ''Hiver'' = Winter] On the departure of Thérésa, the place often changed names and proprietors. It was demolished in 1902 to be replaced by offices.
