It was founded by the brilliant Fursy and a group of his friends. Here no pains have been spared to form a setting worthy of the poets and their public. Many years ago, in the days of the good king Louis XIII., a strolling poet-actor, Tabarin, erected his little canvas-covered stage before the statue of Henry IV., on the Pont-Neuf, and drew the court and the town by his fun and pathos.
We had no desire to go to some stupid place, common to tourists, no such place as the Bal Tabarin lured us; nor did the Grelot in the Place Blanche, for we had been there a night or two before.
He felt it as others have felt it the excitement, the consciousness of an emotional atmosphere as he followed Blake down the dazzingly bright room. It was in the air, as it had been at the Bal Tabarin.
He divested himself of his wig and did a five minutes' act of lightning impersonation with a trick felt hat, the descendant of the Chapeau de Tabarin: the ex-Kaiser, Foch, Clemenceau, Lloyd George, President Wilson a Boche prisoner, a helmeted Tommy, a Poilu which was marvellous, considering the painted Petit Patou face. For all assistance, Elodie held up a cheap bedroom wall-mirror.
It's because they always will have the last word, so it wouldn't do to let them give the responses. Why, the services would never end. By similar logic Tabarin demonstrates, among others, the following propositions: An ass is a better linguist than his master, because he understands when he is spoken to, while his lingo is all lost upon the man.
Once again, as on the day she had first visited the appartement and made acquaintance with the old painter and his wife, dread of some mysterious force filled Maxine. What marvellous power was this that could smile secure at poverty and oblivion that could cast a halo of true emotion over a Bal Tabarin? "It is not true!" she cried out, in answer to herself. "Not true, madame?
It details the players by their stage names only, with the exception of M. Binet and his daughter, and leaving out of account that he who plays Trivelin in one piece appears as Tabarin in another, it makes the company appear to be at least half as numerous again as it really was.
You haven't any papers, or anything of that sort?" Then Mr. James B. Coulson, who was getting tired of his part, suddenly sat up, and a soberer man had never occupied that particular chair in the Bal Tabarin. "And if I have, my young friend," he said calmly, "what the devil business is it of yours?" Mr. Gaynsforth was taken aback and showed it.
They are the only people in the world that kiss and compliment, and above all take off hats. Tab. Take off hats! If that's courtesy I don't want any of it. Mon. Taking off hats, Tabarin, is an ancient custom originating among the Romans. It is done in token of good-will. Tab. So you say taking off hats is the pink of politeness?
Tabarin, however, was a veritable and inimitable clown, and his name has figured in French literature both as a proper and a common noun almost from the day that he and his partner, Mondor, set up their booth on the Pont Neuf.
