 Le Rire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Rire, meaning "Laughter," was a successful humor magazine published in Paris, France from October 1894 through the "Belle Epoque".
Founded by Felix Juven, the magazine was put out as an illustrated weekly at a time when corruption and mismanagement was front and center in French politics.
During the Parisian music hall era, Le Rire also contained depictions of some of the great stars of the day such as Yvette Guilbert, Polaire, Jane Avril, Réjane and even those of popular visitors to the theaters such as Séverine.

"Le Rire," meaning "to laugh," was the most successful of all the "Journal Humoristique," published in France during the "Belle Epoque" (The last years of the 19th century).
They obliged, and Cappiello submitted the drawings to the humour magazine "Le Rire." They were promptly accepted, and were so well received by the public that he became, virtually overnight, the favoured artist of the Paris Theatre.
The works of these and other artists in "Le Rire," printed over 100 years ago, have become sought after by collectors, and are becoming increasingly difficult to find in good condition.

In the foreground is Misia's hat (Misia Natanson, the wife of one of the famous Natanson brothers).
This drawing was executed in 1896, with the title Les Grands Concerts, for the review Le Rire, which was directed by a friend of Lautrec's, the art critic Arsene Alexandre.
Smiling she presents her bared breasts to him and asks, "What would you like for breakfast?" The implication is clear and the scene is Lautrec at his mischievous best.

Using literary texts, historical documents and letters as a mirror of the social classes that they address, this interdisciplinary course studies the principal preoccupations of secular and religious men and women in France from the Carolingian period through 1500.
Particular attention will be paid to identifying recurring concerns and structures in their works and to assessing their importance to female writing: among them, the poetics of silence, reproduction as a metaphor for artistic creation, sociopolitical engagement.

In France, Charles Philipon founded Le Charivari in 1832 (after an earlier publishing effort, La Caricature, was silenced by the State).
Among their counterparts in France were Le Rire (1894) and L'Assiette au Beurre (1901); in 1896, Simplicissimus was founded in Germany.

Le Rire de la mer is a new text by Pierre-Michel Tremblay, performed by Les Éternels Pigistes, the same troupe that delivered Quelques humains some two years ago.
With Le Rire de la mer, Tremblay has found a way to use a series of seemingly unrelated stories in the service of an overarching narrative.
The impeccable timing of all the actors helps make Le Rire de la mer laugh-out-loud funny all the way through, and ultimately quite moving, without a single detour into maudlin.

 Polaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born at Agha, Algiers, she started her show business career as a cafe singer at the age of 15 and at age 17 she joined her older brother in Paris, France.
Eventually adopting the stage name Polaire, she worked as a music hall singer and in 1895, her fame increased significantly when a sketch of her by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec appeared in the satirical magazine, "Le Rire" and again in 1900 when she was painted by Leonetto Cappiello (1875-1942).
Polaire went on to act in the theatre, making her first major stage appearance in 1902 at the Bouffes-Parisiens playing the title role in Colette's play, Claudine à Paris.

Though she had performed before, she was suddenly noticed by critics and spectators in the premiere of Pierre-Michel Tremblay's Quelques humains (Les Éternels Pigistes at Théâtre de la Licorne, 1998) delivering a monologue about spiritual confusion that was as funny as it was heart-rending.
What was particularly stunning was that she had also well-directed the work for the company which she co-founded.
Since, she has also worked at the Gésu (Marivaux's Le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard), the Théâtre du Rideau Vert (Bousille et les justes) and, in summer 2000, for Just For Laughs (Les jumeaux vénitiens).

The distancing rire (anger, scorn, ill wishing) far outnumbers the convivial one in Plutarch, although the latter is essential to "the policed social life" (488).

In "a nature that is mechanically tampered with" we possess a thoroughly comic theme, on which fancy will be able to play ever so many variations with the certainty of successfully provoking the heartiest hilarity.
You may call to mind that amusing passage in Tartarin Sur Les Alpes, in which Bompard makes Tartarin--and therefore also the reader to some slight extent--accept the idea of a Switzerland choke-full of machinery like the basement of the opera, and run by a company which maintains a series of waterfalls, glaciers and artificial crevasses.
The reason is that "le plus beau jour de ma vie" is one of those ready-made phrase-endings to which a Frenchman's ear is accustomed.
