FESTIVAL DU MERVEILLEUX
Musée des Arts Forains, Pavillons de Bercy, Paris
..in einem unterirdischen Konzerthaus ;-)
Während einer längeren Autofahrt durch Bayern lauschte ich einer Radiosendung, in der ein Architekt namens Peter Haimerl in einem Interview von der Planung und dem Bau eines Konzerthauses in einer kleinen Gemeinde namens Blaibach erzählte. Seine Ausführungen waren so interessant, dass ich ihn unverzüglich nach meiner Ankunft im Hotel googelte... mein Interesse, das Gebäude mit eigenen Augen zu sehen, war anschließend entfacht.
Einen Tag und zwei Emails (mit der verantwortlichen Dame vor Ort) später befand ich mich auf dem Weg an die tschechische Grenze...
Von außen betrachtet, erschien das Haus wenig fotogen... es erinnerte mich irgendwie an einen Maulwurfshügel...
Aber der Innenraum begeisterte mich vollends. Wie man mit Sichtbeton derart kunstvoll umgehen kann...
Die fachkundigen Erläuterungen der Projektmanagerin vor Ort trugen dazu bei, dass mir das Dorf Blaibach in klingender Erinnerung bleiben wird.

Malt Cross Music Hall, Nottingham. Dated 1877 designed by Edwin Hill of Nottingham for Charles Weldon. This roof was made of laminated timber, arching over an ornately styled two -tier performance space. This, like the Hoxton Hall Music Hall, had a minimal stage, used for music rather than drama. There were two further floors below the music halls where further performances could be enjoyed in the underground restaurant which became the Malt Cross Billiards Saloon in the 1890s. The site also features a sandstone cave which forms part of Nottingham's cave network. Restored 1982-84 and 2014. Grade 2 listed.

Ethel Waters mentions that she saw Carrie Nugent perform in 1913 and described her as “the sensational Negro tap dancer who’d hoofed her way around the world and been admired and acclaimed everywhere.” Her 1919 passport application states that Nugent traveled for 7 years as a child performer in Europe, probably as a “pick” for Belle Davis.

One of the last Music Halls in London, the Hackney Empire is in the autumn and it's years and has seen better days.
Music hall is a type of British theatrical entertainment that was popular from the early Victorian era, beginning around 1850. It ended, arguably, after the First World War, when the halls rebranded their entertainment as Variety. Perceptions of a distinction in Britain between bold and scandalous Victorian Music Hall and subsequent, more respectable Variety differ. Music hall involved a mixture of popular songs, comedy, speciality acts, and variety entertainment. The term is derived from a type of theatre or venue in which such entertainment took place. American vaudeville was in some ways analogous to British music hall, featuring rousing songs and comic acts.

The Leeds City Varieties is a Grade II listed music hall in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
Leeds City Varieties was built in 1865 as an adjunct to the White Swan Inn in Swan Street by architect George Smith for Charles Thornton. Along with Hoxton Hall and Wilton's Music Hall (both in London), it is a rare surviving example of a Victorian era music hall. The interior is a long rectangle, with cast-iron columns with foliage capitals supporting two bow-fronted balconies, the upper tier of which received minor modifications in the 1880s. Plaster female busts, swags and medallions adorn the balconies, while a three-centred proscenium arch, surmounted by the royal coat of arms, covers the shallow stage.
The theatre was founded by local pub landlord and benefactor Charles Thornton and was originally called 'Thornton's New Music Hall and Fashionable Lounge'. This followed from a 'Singing Room' above the inn. The name subsequently changed to the White Swan Varieties and then Stansfield's Varieties before becoming the City Palace of Varieties. Charlie Chaplin, Marie Lloyd and Houdini are among the artists who performed there.
Between 1953 and 1983, the theatre achieved national fame as the venue for the BBC television programme The Good Old Days, a recreation of old-time music hall featuring Leonard Sachs as the alliterative Chairman and many well-known and less-well-known performers. The venue still presents live "Good Old Days" music hall events over runs of 3 weekends in the spring and 4 in the autumn, as well as pantomime and a regular programme of stand-up comedy and music concerts.
The City Varieties was granted Heritage Lottery funds to help with major refurbishment and restoration. The theatre closed for refurbishment in January 2009, and re-opened in September 2011. The theatre now seats 467, and the sides of the balcony are closed to the public, now giving space to additional lighting. [Wikipedia]

Before the fall of Bucharest in 1916 I returned to Moscow where I worked until July 1917 whereupon I went to Transcaucasia to reside and work at Bakou and Tiflis up to July 1920.”
Opinion of Officer Taking Affidavit
“Affiant is a dancer of a class which is not in demand in the United States. He is also a negro who has a white woman as a theatrical companion. I therefore do not believe his statement that he intends to return to the United States within two years., particularly since he has neither family nor business ties there.”
“I am reliably informed that affiant’s earnings are approximately $15.00 per day. He should therefore pay the American income tax.”
“I do not know whether the laws and regulations permit of refusing protection to a native American citizen but I feel it my duty to state that I consider that extending protection to an unproductive member of society of this character who has resided abroad continuously for twelve years adds nothing to the prestige of the United States and might at any moment involve the United States in unpleasant difficulties to no profit.” Alfred Theo Burri, Vice Consul of the United States
18 Jul 1923 applied at Bucharest for travel to Roumania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Constantinople, Greece, Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, British Isles, France, Poland, Turkey, He has lived in Bucharest since 1920.
