But if you're going to be that fussy in your textual originalism, you should know that she's "Madam" Rose, not "Madame." :)

Sorry, not quite.

This is directly from the production script. (The bolding of the text is mine, of course.)

ROSE
You know, I had a dream last night.
(LOUISE laughs)
It was a big poster of a mother and daughter -- like the cover
of that ladies’ magazine.
LOUISE
Yes, Mother?
ROSE
(Stops moving)
Only it was you and me, wearing exactly the same gown. It was
an ad for Minsky – and the headline said:
(She traces the name in the air)
MADAME ROSE --
(LOUISE gives her a look; ROSE
catches it and, moving her hand
up to give LOUISE top billing, says:)
ROSE (Cont’d)
And HER DAUGHTER, GYPSY!

(She is also referred to as Madame Rose, with the E, a few other times as well.)
