Francois Regniers' presence at the vendredi-soirées is mentioned in press documents, but convincing evidence is lacking. There is no caricature by Giraud. His presence may have to do with actress Rachel's performance at a soirée, or with his increasing administrative role at the Comédie-Française, where he frequently worked with Joseph Samson, sitting opposite him.
