With Èclat and Èlan, to say nothing of a pair of cymbals, the ebullient, unabashedly hedonistic sprite calls us to the Olympia to enjoy the “Russian mountains"–the French term for the rollercoaster. The poster was used for the opening of this new establishment, in April of 1893; it was one of the first places in Paris that called itself a “music-hall,” borrowing a word from British show business. There was a bumpy ride as an added attraction to the usual stage spectacles, but to call it a rollercoaster was probably somewhat euphemistic. This is the smaller format.
