Connection with "Café Dhingo"

Some of the action in the 1954 film The Last Time I Saw Paris is set in "Café Dhingo", pronounced exactly like Dingo. There was no explanation in the film about what the name meant, although it seemed to cater to Americans, just as the original Dingo Bar did.

I've looked extensively for any explanation of the names "Dingo" and "Dhingo" in this Parisian context, but have drawn a blank. We know that Jimmy Charters (b. 1897, Rhyl, Wales) was not the owner of the Dingo Bar, so the name didn't come from him. So, who was the owner, and why did they call it the Dingo Bar? The French called the Disney character Goofy "Dingo". Is that it? Otherwise, could there be some possible connection to the Australian wild dog known as the dingo? That was not unknown to the French, because Octave Mirbeau had a pet dog called "Dingo", and he wrote a book about it called Dingo.. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 02:16, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
