Wikipedia description:

Constant Maximin Rodolphe Salis (French pronunciation: [sali]; 29 May 1851 – 20 March 1897) was a French theatre director who was the creator, host and owner of the Le Chat Noir ('The Black Cat') cabaret (known briefly in 1881 at its beginning as Cabaret Artistique) in the Montmartre district of Paris. With this establishment, Salis is remembered as the creator of the modern cabaret: a nightclub where the patrons could sit at tables with alcoholic drinks and enjoy variety acts on a stage, introduced by a master of ceremonies who interacted with the audience.
