Dr. Ménager clearly had a lot more to say about Rachel than the time allotted for his presentation allowed. Fortunately, he was able to share much of his research (clippings, photos, maps and other information) with members of the Amazones discussion forum in a series of postings (as "Hermen") in 2018. The postings are grouped as follows:

Le Petit Bleu de Paris, "Une soirée Parisienne: Le Cirque Molier" (A Paris evening: The Cirque Molier"), July 2, 1931, p. 4. Cirque Molier 50th anniversary (via RetroNews). Rachel "nearly stripped bare."
L'Ordre, "La Vie Parisienne: Du Cirque Molier au Cirque Molière en passant par le Cirque Medrano," ("From Cirque Molier to Cirque Molière by way of Cirque Medrano") by Pierre Lazareff, July 6, 1931, p. 1. Cirque Molier 50th anniversary (via Gallica).
This review refers to Rachel as "a former Paris-Cannes champion," perpetuating the myth that Rachel won the Paris-Cannes race of 1929 (page 32). The reference to the playwright Molière is evidently a nod to Rachel's kidnapping skit, set in the time of Louis XV although Molière died before Louis was born. The Cirque Medrano, founded in 1897, is still going strong.
