Summary

A friendly company the notable vicious one that joins together up to date fixes a sempiternal part of charts decides one beautiful day to go to Paris to spend the money of the kitty: after merry reunions in a restaurant of the capital, each one will be able to give free course to its obsession. The shareholder who has a toothache will see a dentist, the farmer will visit slaughter-houses and the old maid will go in a marriage bureau. But a malicious fate will thwart all these plans. Misused by the artifices of the menu, shown of a flight which it obviously did not make, the small troop will be involved, of mistakes in misunderstandings, in a race-continuation which takes the forms of an waked up nightmare. By its art of the movement and its genius of burlesque, the Kitty, created in 1864, remains one of the masterpieces of our comic scene. If gravity is, as one said, the privilege of stupid, no one will not have defended with more strength but Eugene Labiche the prerogative of people of spirit. Just like " the business of the street lourcine" and still full with another parts this part is enriched by avantures and humor! Source: The Book of Pocket
