Hi there,
I'm interested in any biographical information on Albert Lacaze, particularly vis-a-vis his collaboration with Georges Dubois on the foil-and-dagger style and most particularly as to whether that style persisted in any form beyond the 1930s (for example, via Pierre Lacaze and into escrime artistique).
Also interested in the identity of the fencer in the light-coloured uniform in this footage (the fellow fencing with Nadi in the last shot).
Thanks,
Tony

As I mentioned on another forum, I have a friend who was in Paris in the late 1970s or early 1980s. He described something that sounded very similar at Salle LaCaze at that time.
I've sent him a link and an email and hope he can narrow what he observed and when for us.

I received the following from Richard Alvarez in my email:

Thanks very much!
Do you have any biographical information on Albert Lacaze? I've pretty much exhausted my Google options but have come up with very little so far.
Also, I believe that the fencer in the light-coloured uniform in this clip is the same man who was leading the outdoor foil and dagger class in the 1927 Pathe newsreel item; any idea who he was?
Cheers,
Tony

I believe that Pierre Lacaze was Albert's son, which has interesting implications towards the continuation of foil-and-dagger fencing during the later 20th century (re. Mr. Alvarez's comments, etc.)
Cheers,
Tony
