Offenbach’s Hungry Thursday Lifted by a Dream Dinner
An anecdote from Jacques Offenbach recalls his penniless morning hunger in Paris. Unable to afford breakfast or dinner, he ponders home and agents, then attends a supposed Thursday dinner invitation that turns out to be a misprint by Mons. X-. After wandering to Boulevard des Italiens he nearly contemplates suicide before a passer returns four dollars for his brother. He dines finally at Cafe Anglais, declaring a dream has fed him and he no longer cares if it ends.
