They played, they sang and\nthey laughed. Every guest who happened to come was wel-\ncome, no matter whether he took active part in the enter-\ntainment or whether he remained a listener. Very soon all\nParis was talking about the \"Black Cat,\" and the fact that\nthere still could be found Bohemian life—that kind of Bohe-\nmian life known to all from Henri Murger's novels.\nBut for the rapid success of this cabaret and its being\nknown in the largest circles of Paris, Salis had to thank the\nweekly he started to publish, \"Le Chat Noir.\" Here the\nParisians could see for the first time the marvelous carica-\ntures of Riviere, Steinlen, Willette, Henri Somn and Caran\nd'Ache; there were poems and short pieces in prose by\nAuriol, Alphonse Allais and many others whose names are\nwell-known since, in French letters. Salis proved to be a\nwonderful organizer. He always gave Paris something new\nto laugh about, as, for instance, that famous feast, \"La Soupe\net le Boeuf,\" and his memorable celebrations of the 14th of\nJuly.\nEvery Parisian had to see at least once this cabaret, and\neach new guest was welcomed by the \"Cabaretier—gentil-\nhomme\" with a dignified, well-set oration.

Prostitutes and their protectors had here their\nhiding-places. These people looked upon the artists as in-\ntruders. They were their declared enemies since the first\nnight the 'Black Cat\" opened its doors. They were ready to\ndefend their rights with knife and gun. The different gangs\nwere not satisfied with holding up guests on their way to the\ncabaret, but they even attacked the \"Black Cat\" itself. Salis\nlaughed at first, but after one hard fight in which several of\nhis guests were wounded, one of his waiters killed, and he\nhimself had received half a dozen stiletto wounds, he gave up\nand decided to move away.\nSalis bought in the street Victor-Masse—in those days it\nwas the Rue de Laval—the good-looking house of Alfred\nStevens, the painter, and equipped it with the help of his\nfriends, magnificently for the purpose it should serve.

On the second floor, the banquet hall\nwhere the famous shadow plays took place. The walls were\ncovered with works of art. Anybody who knows modern\nParisian art of today would be surprised how the \"Seigneur\nde Chatnoirville-en-Vexin\" saw the talent and recognized the\nartists fifteen and twenty years ahead of the world and of\ncontemporaries. After Salis' death in 1897, the works of art\nin the\"Chat Noir\" were partly auctioned off by his heirs,\nand while the coming-off of the auction was unknown, still\n116,000 francs were realized. Salis had paid a few years\nbefore, a few glasses of beer for some of the most valuable\nworks of art in his house. But surely none of the artists en-\ntertained an unfriendly memory of him, because it was he\nwho made known the light-living artist folk of the Mont-\nmartre to Paris, to France and to the world. And today,\nwhile many of these artists own wonderfully-appointed\nhouses of their own, they will not deny that Rodolphe Salis,\nBaron de la Tour de Naiire, laid the foundation to their future\nsuccess.\nThe removal of the \"Black Cat\" to its new home was an\nevent for Paris. At midnight the emigration of the artists\nfrom the Boulevard Rocliechouart started. At first came two\nheralds followed by the music band, then Salis himself in the\ngarb of a Roman dictator. Two men in gorgeous livery fol-\nlowed him, carrying the standard of the \"Black Cat,\" bearing\nthe motto: \"Montjoye-Montmartre.\" Four men in green\nacademic coats embroidered with palm leaves, carried sol-\nemnly Willette's big picture \"Parce Domine,\" while in a\nseemingly endless row of carriages the other works of art\nwere transferred to the new home. Then came hundreds of\nartists with burning torches in their hands, and music again,\nand people, hoards of people.\nSalis' wonderful success had to have imitators. Artistide\nBruant, the greatest poetic talent of the \"Butte\" and one of\nthe founders of the \"Black Cat,\" separated from his master\nafter Salis left the Montmartre and started a cabaret of his\nown; he called it \"Le Mirliton,\" and conducting a weekly of\nthe same name, created fame of his own. Hundreds of other\ncabarets came and went in the course of years. But only a\nfew of them are noteworthy to future generations: \"Le Chien\nNoir,\" \"La Puree\" and \"Aux-4'-z-Arts.\" As well as Salis\nwith his \"Chat Noir\" so went the proprietors of these caba-\nrets with their artists and their papers for short trips through\nthe country, and very soon nearly every city in France had\nits own cabaret.

It, too, was a simple\nJapanese room, but bookcases lined the walls and a little\ndesk where Hearn used to sit and to write was in the same\ncondition as on the day the master left it forever. There\nwas the bottle with ink—American ink, Stafford's blue ink,\nseveral penholders. Some wonderful sheets of Japanese\npaper, white and soft, which he had used exclusively for his\nwork, lay on the much used blotting paper.

The\nonly credit he can get in those days was that he induced this\nassembly of artists, among whom was Emilie Goudeau, to\nmove from the left bank of the Seine to the Montmarte.\nEvery Friday they assembled. They played, they sang and\nthey laughed. Every guest who happened to come was wel-\ncome, no matter whether he took active part in the enter-\ntainment or whether he remained a listener. Very soon all\nParis was talking about the \"Black Cat,\" and the fact that\nthere still could be found Bohemian life—that kind of Bohe-\nmian life known to all from Henri Murger's novels.\nBut for the rapid success of this cabaret and its being\nknown in the largest circles of Paris, Salis had to thank the\nweekly he started to publish, \"Le Chat Noir.\" Here the\nParisians could see for the first time the marvelous carica-\ntures of Riviere, Steinlen, Willette, Henri Somn and Caran\nd'Ache; there were poems and short pieces in prose by\nAuriol, Alphonse Allais and many others whose names are\nwell-known since, in French letters. Salis proved to be a\nwonderful organizer. He always gave Paris something new\nto laugh about, as, for instance, that famous feast, \"La Soupe\net le Boeuf,\" and his memorable celebrations of the 14th of\nJuly.\nEvery Parisian had to see at least once this cabaret, and\neach new guest was welcomed by the \"Cabaretier—gentil-\nhomme\" with a dignified, well-set oration. Salis knew always\nhow to attract new talents to his house. And very soon\nnights were turned to days and the same happy merriment\ncould be found in the \"Black Cat\" at any hour of the day.\ndid not charge admission fees. But the prices paid for\nthe \"consommation\"—mostly a stein of beer—were exhorbi-\ntant; five, ten, twenty or more francs were paid for one glass\nof beer.\nWhole Paris was enthusiastic; with the exception of just\nthat part of the city which Salis made famous—the \"Butte\nsacree.\" The \"Sacred Mountain\" had been for years the un-\ndisputed property of the toughest and the roughest popula-\ntion of Paris. Prostitutes and their protectors had here their\nhiding-places. These people looked upon the artists as in-\ntruders. They were their declared enemies since the first\nnight the 'Black Cat\" opened its doors. They were ready to\ndefend their rights with knife and gun. The different gangs\nwere not satisfied with holding up guests on their way to the\ncabaret, but they even attacked the \"Black Cat\" itself. Salis\nlaughed at first, but after one hard fight in which several of\nhis guests were wounded, one of his waiters killed, and he\nhimself had received half a dozen stiletto wounds, he gave up\nand decided to move away.\nSalis bought in the street Victor-Masse—in those days it\nwas the Rue de Laval—the good-looking house of Alfred\nStevens, the painter, and equipped it with the help of his\nfriends, magnificently for the purpose it should serve.

There were thou-\nsands of curiosities—things really worth while seeing. On the\nfirst floor were situated the \"coimcil-chambers,\" the real\ncabaret of the artists. On the second floor, the banquet hall\nwhere the famous shadow plays took place. The walls were\ncovered with works of art. Anybody who knows modern\nParisian art of today would be surprised how the \"Seigneur\nde Chatnoirville-en-Vexin\" saw the talent and recognized the\nartists fifteen and twenty years ahead of the world and of\ncontemporaries. After Salis' death in 1897, the works of art\nin the\"Chat Noir\" were partly auctioned off by his heirs,\nand while the coming-off of the auction was unknown, still\n116,000 francs were realized. Salis had paid a few years\nbefore, a few glasses of beer for some of the most valuable\nworks of art in his house. But surely none of the artists en-\ntertained an unfriendly memory of him, because it was he\nwho made known the light-living artist folk of the Mont-\nmartre to Paris, to France and to the world. And today,\nwhile many of these artists own wonderfully-appointed\nhouses of their own, they will not deny that Rodolphe Salis,\nBaron de la Tour de Naiire, laid the foundation to their future\nsuccess.\nThe removal of the \"Black Cat\" to its new home was an\nevent for Paris. At midnight the emigration of the artists\nfrom the Boulevard Rocliechouart started. At first came two\nheralds followed by the music band, then Salis himself in the\ngarb of a Roman dictator. Two men in gorgeous livery fol-\nlowed him, carrying the standard of the \"Black Cat,\" bearing\nthe motto: \"Montjoye-Montmartre.\" Four men in green\nacademic coats embroidered with palm leaves, carried sol-\nemnly Willette's big picture \"Parce Domine,\" while in a\nseemingly endless row of carriages the other works of art\nwere transferred to the new home. Then came hundreds of\nartists with burning torches in their hands, and music again,\nand people, hoards of people.\nSalis' wonderful success had to have imitators. Artistide\nBruant, the greatest poetic talent of the \"Butte\" and one of\nthe founders of the \"Black Cat,\" separated from his master\nafter Salis left the Montmartre and started a cabaret of his\nown; he called it \"Le Mirliton,\" and conducting a weekly of\nthe same name, created fame of his own. Hundreds of other\ncabarets came and went in the course of years. But only a\nfew of them are noteworthy to future generations: \"Le Chien\nNoir,\" \"La Puree\" and \"Aux-4'-z-Arts.\" As well as Salis\nwith his \"Chat Noir\" so went the proprietors of these caba-\nrets with their artists and their papers for short trips through\nthe country, and very soon nearly every city in France had\nits own cabaret. Then they went out to the neighboring\nforeign countries. They went at first to French-speaking\ncountries, as Belgium, Tunis, Algeria and Switzerland.

It is a tragedy which is not so\naccentuated as that it could not play a painful part in our own\nlife.\nThere are a man and a woman, stripped of all the garb\nwhich tradition and convention have created during nineteen\ncenturies. All bars erected by social standing and different\nbirths—in short every barrier that is man-made—are set aside\non this one Midsummer Eve, in this one night.\nMid-summer Eve, the people's festival according to the old\nScandinavian sagas; all distinctions properly guided by human\nstandards and by laws that seem almost supernatural have\nbeen thrown away. Man and woman meet on a new basis.\nThey are just man and just woman, such as were their sav-\nage ancestors. They have stepped for once, far out of their\nown personalities.\nThey are viewing their own lives—objectively. They help\none another to wash their soiled linen while the audience\nsits there and looks on and listens. There is no time either\nto feel sympathetic or to become antagonized. Life's evolu-\ntion is too logical and too constricted in its sequence to per-\nmit meditation upon plot and upon the people impersonating\nmen and women on the stage. There was life upon that\nstage, real, merciless life with all its elements, with all its\noppressing seriousness and its relieving comedy.\nStrindberg knows no plots. But life does not know them\neither. Strindberg knows life. He tells it just as it happens.\nThe characters of his play create troubles and tragedies for\nthemselves exactly as we do in our own lives. They are sub-\njected to the same influences of their fellow men and women\nthat we are in our own lives. There are only three charac-\nters on the stage, but in reality there are a good many more.\nWe can almost see the honest good Count, whom the daugh-\nter would not dishonor, not even if she must give her life to\nsave him from that certain knowledge.
