Vaudeville genre of variety entertainment in the United States and Canada from the early 1880s until the early 1930s

Vaudeville is a theatrical genre of variety entertainment born in France at the end of the 18th century. A vaudeville was originally a comedy without psychological or moral intentions, based on a comical situation: a kind of dramatic composition or light poetry, interspersed with songs or ballets. It became popular in the United States and Canada from the early 1880s until the early 1930s, but the idea of vaudeville's theatre changed radically from its French antecedent.

The Lycée Condorcet is a school founded in 1803 in Paris, France, located at 8, rue du Havre, in the city's 9th arrondissement.

Jacques Laffitte French banker and politician

Jacques Laffitte was a leading French banker, governor of the Bank of France (1814–1820) and liberal member of the Chamber of Deputies during the Bourbon Restoration and July Monarchy. He was an important figure in the development of new banking techniques during the early stages of industrialization in France. In politics, he played a decisive role during the Revolution of 1830 that brought Louis-Philippe, the duc d'Orléans, to the throne, replacing the unpopular Bourbon king Charles X. Laffitte was named president of the new Citizen King's Council of Ministers and Minister of Finances. After a brief ministry of 131 days, his "Party of Movement" gave way before the "Party of Order" led by the banker Casimir-Pierre Perier. Laffitte left office discredited politically and financially ruined. He rebounded financially in 1836 with his creation of the Caisse Générale du Commerce et de l'Industrie, a forerunner of French investment banks of the second half of the 19th century such as the Crédit Mobilier (1852). The Caisse Générale did not survive the financial crisis caused by the Revolution of 1848.

On 21 June 1828, he married Virginie Guyot. [7] and made his debut at theatre in 1832 with a three-act play titled L'Abbaye-aux-Bois, written in collaboration with Pixérécourt.

Jacques-François Ancelot French dramatist and litterateur

Jacques-Arsène-Polycarpe-François Ancelot was a French dramatist and litterateur.

At the announcement of his death, the magazine Jean Diable read:

M. Pierre Henri [ sic ] Martin called Lubize has just died at the age of 61. This playwright, born in Bayonne, held a very important place among the producers of our time. Alternately collaborator of MM. Léonce, Théaulon, Cogniard brothers, Grangé, Guinot, Labiche, Siraudin, Brisebarre, Paul de Kock, Varin, Michel Delaporte, etc., etc., he mingled his name to theirs in the signing of a large number of comedies, many of which were a great success, including the Conseil de discipline, Une assemblée de créanciers, le Muet de Saint-Malo, la Tasse cassée, le Misanthrope et l'Auvergnat, Obliger est si doux, le Spectacle à la Cour.

Mr. Lubize without collaborators has not been less successful: the Cinquantaine and Latude would suffice to prove it.
