We have found a press items about a choir we think is named Les Petits Chanteurs de Ile de France. We are not entirely sure about this because we do not have any other reference to this particular choir. We are syure that it is a Paris choir. The paper caption is torn so it is difficult to read. We are sure that the boys are singing in the Paris Metro (subway) to raise funds for their 1957 overseas trip. It apparently had to be cancelled when many of the boys after ariving in New York came down with flu and the choir was left with substantail debts because their concerts had to be cancelled. Perhaps our French reades can make mote out of the text. The boys wear their uniform which was fairly standard. They have caps like the Les Petits Chanteurs d'Asnières. They wear white sgirts, ties, what looks like bklue short pants, and white knee socks. One boy wears a blazer, but we are not sure it part of the uniform. Another boy wears dungaress rather than the choir uniform. They have overcoats and heavy jackets on because it is so cold. One of the mothers has cans that the boys will use to solicit dionations.
