Palace in Avignon. On August 23, she performed in <em>Petrarch and Laura<\/em> by Mme Fran\u00e7ois Vaucienne at the same venue, in front of \u00c9douard Daladier (then a Minister, later head of the government), alongside actor Raoul-Henry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 1928, the name \u201cMarie Francey\u201d appeared for the first time in an article in <em>Com\u0153dia<\/em>, reporting on the performance of the play <em>La ru\u00e9e vers l\u2019amour<\/em>, with Albert Lambert and Raoul-Henry. Six months later, Marie married the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she married Raoul Pignol, a stage actor known by the pseudonym Raoul Henry (his mother\u2019s name), she was living at 6 Rue du Laos, a luxurious address near the Eiffel Tower, and was already listed as an \u201cactress\u201d on official documents. It&#8217;s unclear how happy their marriage was over time, but Marie frequently shared the stage with her husband in the following years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, in September 1928, he played Dr. Jean Monray and \u201cMary Francey\u201d portrayed C\u00e9cile Desbiens in <em>Le mortel baiser<\/em> by Lo\u00efc Le Gouriadec at the Alhambra in Lille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 20, 1929, she performed <em>Oreste<\/em> by Ren\u00e9 Berton at the ancient theater in Cherchell, Algeria, alongside Raoul Henry. She then returned to the stage with him on August 11, 1929, in <em>Imp\u00e9ria<\/em> at the Roman arena in Saintes. She was introduced as a member of the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l\u2019\u0152uvre company. On October 9, at the Gymnase Theater in Marseille, she performed in <em>Prise<\/em>, once again with Raoul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the winter of 1928-1929, she and Raoul followed the Jean Herv\u00e9 company on a tour of Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 1930, she appeared at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Madeleine in the role of Sacha Guitry\u2019s conscience in <em>One night, When You&#8217;re Alone<\/em>, and in <em>Le veilleur de nuit<\/em>, also by Guitry. In October 1931, she played \u201cLa femme sans Voile\u201d at the Vari\u00e9t\u00e9s in Marseille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 9, she returned to Saintes to perform in <em>Penthesil\u00e9e<\/em> by Alfred Mortier, again with Raoul Henry. In March 1932, she rejoined Guitry for <em>Le voyage Tchang-Li; les desseins de la providence<\/em> at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Madeleine, where she played a nun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still working with Guitry, she could also be heard on the radio in the role of La Guimard in a musical comedy titled <em>Mozart<\/em> on November 15, 1935.

DeMille, alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/snowwhitemuseum.com\/about-the-film\/foreign-adaptations-of-snow-white\/the-second-french-dubbing-of-snow-white\/richard-francoeur\/\" title=\"Richard Francoeur\">Richard Francoeur<\/a>.<br>The reviewer for <em>L\u2019Excelsior<\/em>, in the May 8, 1936 issue, attempted a comparison between the original and dubbed versions of <em>Desire<\/em> starring Marlene Dietrich, and concluded:<br>\u201cWe were able to appreciate the quality of the dubbing, where everything\u2014even Marlene\u2019s voice\u2014thanks to Mme Marie Francey, seemed like the star\u2019s own: muted and monotone, yet compelling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This opinion was shared\u2026 by Marlene Dietrich herself. During a visit to the Paramount studios in Paris, she saw her film in its dubbed version and \u201cwas thrilled with how Marie Francey had dubbed her voice.\u201d<br>She is quoted as saying:<br>\u201cIt&#8217;s really excellent,\u201d she said upon leaving the screening room. \u201cI\u2019m stunned\u2026 It\u2019s extraordinary how Mlle Francey\u2014whose voice truly resembles mine\u2014captured my inflections, even down to my faintest whispers! As an artist, I used to consider dubbing almost heretical. When I came to see my film dubbed, I must admit, I felt a bit apprehensive. I was wrong. I can honestly say I am not disappointed in the least.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For any performer, there could be no higher compliment. The anecdote was later summarized in <em>Le Matin<\/em> on July 31 and in <em>La Libert\u00e9<\/em> on August 1, 1936.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>L\u2019Intransigeant<\/em>, on December 2, 1937, was full of praise for the dubbed version of <em>Angel<\/em>, calling it a \u201ctechnical and artistic triumph.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On December 15, 1937, Natalie Pilenko wrote a full-page article titled <em>In the City of Faceless Voices<\/em>, in which she observed <a href=\"https:\/\/snowwhitemuseum.com\/about-the-film\/foreign-adaptations-of-snow-white\/the-second-french-dubbing-of-snow-white\/richard-francoeur\/\" title=\"Richard Francoeur\">Richard Francoeur<\/a> and Marie at work and was \u201cstruck by the love they had for their craft.\u201d Of Marie, she wrote:<br>\u201cShe is known to the general public for the flawless way she managed to imitate Marlene\u2019s voice\u2014monotone and unmodulated, and among the most difficult to reproduce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An article by Didy Gluntz in <em>Pour Vous<\/em> on September 12, 1935, was dedicated entirely to her, though she was referred to again as \u201cMary Francey.\u201d<br>Her \u201cslender face, delicate smile, and misty gaze\u201d were described in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As dubbing ceased to be a novelty, Marie Francey\u2019s name faded from the press, even though she continued to enjoy a rich and successful career in the field to the point of making the front page of L&#8217;intransigeant again on July 20, 1939.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column8953_dfc8e8-b9 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column8953_dfc8e8-b9 >

her ex-husband: L\u00e9on Pignol. The wedding took place in Sanary-sur-Mer, and they remained married until 1962, just before she recorded the role of the Witch in <em>Snow White<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Occupation, Marie seems to have kept a low profile, living in the south of France. She reappeared in 1948, performing under the name Mary Francey alongside Fernand Ledoux in the play <em>Monsieur<\/em> by Claude G\u00e9vel in Nice, at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Palais de la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e. These activities appear to have brought her back to Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She returned to the Paris stage on April 6, 1950, at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Montparnasse\u2013Gaston Baty, performing in Jean Anouilh\u2019s <em>Traveller Without Luggage<\/em>, alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/snowwhitemuseum.com\/about-the-film\/foreign-adaptations-of-snow-white\/the-second-french-dubbing-of-snow-white\/maurice-nasil\/\" title=\"Maurice Nasil\">Maurice Nasil<\/a>, Michel Vitold, and H\u00e9l\u00e9na Manson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1951, she performed in <em>Ce soir \u00e0 Samarcande<\/em> at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Renaissance with <a href=\"https:\/\/snowwhitemuseum.com\/about-the-film\/foreign-adaptations-of-snow-white\/the-second-french-dubbing-of-snow-white\/georges-hubert\/\" title=\"Georges Hubert\">Georges Hubert<\/a>. Then, starting January 3, 1953, she appeared in <em>La Duchesse d\u2019Algues<\/em> at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Michel. That same year, Sacha Guitry cast her in <em>Palsambleu<\/em> at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Vari\u00e9t\u00e9s, which premiered on March 28, 1953.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following year, she acted alongside Jeanne Boitel in <em>Une femme\u2026 des hommes<\/em>, performed in Nice the week of February 10, 1954.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 1955, she could be seen at the C\u00e9lestins Theater in Lyon playing a duenna in <em>Ruy Blas<\/em>.
