Announcement brochure for the avant garde journal supported by Andre Salmon, Gino Severini, Jean Cocteau, James Joyce, Rachilde and others mostly of the right wing /patriotic persuasion (an extensive list of supporters is reproduced here). The brochure is mostly notable for a reproduced 3pp text of a speech given by Gabriel Boissy in honour and in the presence of the Futurist Marinetti. Elsewhere there is an announcement of a fundraising ball (as the Friends were losing 500 francs a week according to the notice) and also a salon in honour of Alexandre Guinle with the participation of Paul Valery amongst others and a short festival of Czech cinema.
