Paul Porel

Paul Porel, né Désiré Paul Parfouru, was a French actor, director and theatre manager. He was for many years closely associated with the Théâtre de l'Odéon in Paris, where he was first an actor, and then stage director, and, from December 1884 to May 1892, general director. The Odéon was at that time ranked as the second French theatre, after the Comédie Française.
