The New York restaurant Le Pavillon opens October 15 at 5 East 55th Street under the direction of Henri Soulé, 38, a Basque from Biarritz who managed the Café de Paris before coming to New York in March 1939 with 30 kitchen workers and 33 maîtres d'hotel captains, waiters, and wine stewards to run the restaurant at the World's Fair's French Pavilion. Soulé charges $1.75 for a table d'hôte luncheon of hors d'oeuvre, plat du jour, dessert, and coffee.
