The support is not for sale Raimu is a French actor, born December 18, 1883 in Toulon and died September 20, 1946 in Neuilly-sur-Seine. A music hall star in his early days, he became, thanks to Sacha Guitry, one of the “sacred monsters” of French cinema in the 1930s and the first half of the 1940s, notably becoming Marcel Pagnol's favorite performer. Raimu is remembered for his interpretation of Caesar in the “Marseille trilogy”: Marius, Fanny and Caesar, and of the deceived baker in The Baker's Wife. Biography The beginnings Raimu's birthplace in Toulon. Memorial plaque on Raimu's birthplace. Jules Auguste Muraire was born on December 18, 1883 in Toulon1,2 to whom he had a real passion3. Not very interested in studies, he got into fights in high school, which caused him to be excluded, and his parents had to enroll him in an institution for difficult children4. He discovered the world of entertainment at a very young age and was attracted to the profession of actor. But his father, who wants to see him resume his tapestry workshop, is opposed to this and has him hired as a scullion at the Hôtel du Louvre. The sudden death of his father, when he was only 15, brought him back to his vocation as an artist5. He then began under the name Rallum, on June 15, 1900, at the age of 16 and a half, in the café-concerts and sailor taverns of his native region, Provence, but without success, because he sang poorly6. Hired by a modest local troupe, the Lauri-Laur, he even made a short tour of North Africa7. Then he did odd jobs: croupier at the Aix-les-Bains casino and trader. Then a lyric artist, he lived at 209 boulevard de La Madeleine (now boulevard de la Libération) in Marseille, he was exempt from military service for obesity8. In 1908, he joined the Alhambra theater in Marseille as a prompter, then moved to the Alcazar theater in Marseille and the “Crystal Palace”. Having adopted the pseudonym Raimut (approximate version of his name Muraire), he finally called himself Raimu9 and became a regional star in a comic troupe repertoire popularized by Polin, in which Jean Gabin and Fernandel also tried their hand. Félix Mayol, a huge star, singer and music hall director of Toulouse origin, spotted him and brought him to Paris to play in the revues that he put on in his own theater, the Concert Mayol10. Until the war of 1914, Raimu performed in numerous café-concerts and music halls, such as La Cigale, the Folies Bergère and the Casino de Paris. In August 1914, he lived at no. 15 rue de La Tour d'Auvergne in Paris, and in September 1914 at no. 46 rue de la République in Marseille8. Recognized fit for army service on October 28, 1914, he was mobilized in Orange within the 15th ETEM (military crew train squadron)8 and left for the front in September. During one of his first contacts, he was buried under a sapeb. He survived, but lost weight, fell ill and was discharged in Mars 191510. First successes in the theater Andrée Spinelly, star of the time with whom he had an affair, had him play alongside her in Plus ça change at the Michel theater in 191510, then it was Sacha Guitry who gave him his first important theater role in Let's Make a Dream in 1916. We then notice him in L'École des cocottes (1920) with Andrée Spinelly, Le Roi de Flers and Caillavet (1920), Le Blanc et le Noir (1922) by Sacha Guitry. Léon Volterra, owner of the Casino de Paris, the Théâtre de Paris and the Théâtre Marigny, had him performed successfully in revues, in the sketch Le Convict, a satire on the financial scandals of the time10, and in comedies by Yves Mirande , by Sacha Guitry or by Flers and Croisset. In 1928, when he met Marcel Pagnol, Raimu was a recognized actor, but he had not yet played a leading role. Stardom The arrival of talking cinema in Europe in 1929 made Raimu known for his acting, his personality and his characteristic thundering southern voice. In 1929, he enjoyed a triumph at the Paris theater with Marius by Marcel Pagnol (with Orane Demazis). These two Provençals, one from Aubagne, the other from Toulon, brought each other glory and celebrity with this theater classic. In 1931, Raimu experienced a new triumph with the adaptation of the play to the cinema: Marius, a film by Alexander Korda and the first film in Pagnol's “Marseille trilogy”, became one of the first successful talking films in French cinema. Being angry with the director of the Paris theater, Léon Volterra, he did not participate in the stage creation of Fanny, the role of Caesar being played by Harry Baur, but he took up this role in 1932 in the filmed version of Fanny, toured by Marc Allégret12. He also appears in the film adaptations of plays he performed on stage such as La Petite Chocolatière (1932), L'École des cocottes (1935) and Le Roi (1936).
