La Cigale Théatre-Concert S.A., 100 franc share, Paris 1900, no.04378, ornate border, allegorical females with music score at bottom, mauve and green, with coupons, about extremely fine.
Originally built in 1887 but remodelled in 1894 and commenced its golden years of entertainment. By 1920 the theatre was used for operettas and music hall (Vaudeville). Continuing its decline the theatre was converted to a cinema in 1940, later showing x-rated films. Starting in 1981 when the hall was classified as a national monument the theatre has been refurbished and modernised and is now home to many music and arts performances.
