New-York tribune., 1903-04-05
Paris. March "a.


The new Partisan cry catchword. ''Viens.
Pou-poule, Wen" s"'-"Come, little chick, Comet"
has taken Paris by storm. and resounds day
and night from the heights of Montmartre to
the plains of Montparnasse. 1t came with the
first day of spring and bids fair to flourish until
the fall of leaves in october. Like the cake
walk 1t has become obsession. 1t is nonsensf-
CAL idiotic and infantile. but, uttered and
sung by concert hall artists and by the CAV
roches of the boulevards. 1t has swing and
rhythm. and has caught the fancy of the popu-
lace. This poultryike refrain is usually pro-
nounced with loving tenderness. and the last
invocation 'Viensr'-"Comep' is chanted with
Ianguishng emphasis and passion. Thousands
of American tourists will before long be on
their way to Paris, and this irrepressible re-
frain will be the first note to strike their ears
as they emerge from the railway station From
time beyond memory there has always been
dominating popular street cry in the
French capital
Visitors during the last twenty years will
recollect the famous couplets invented and sung
by Paulus during the Boulanger fever. when
"Revenant de la Revue" sung by students and
agitators, nearly led to a coup d'etat 1t was
the phrase "Oh! Quel malheur que davoir un
gendre.'-"Wbat~a misfortune to have son-in-
law?'-that ruined President Grevy when he
connived at the agency for corrupt transactions
directed by his son-in-law, Mr.. Wilson. The
present street cry is however. neither political
nor revolutionary. 1t is simple a cry of jovalty
and pleasure, and such is an excellent ex-
ponent of the wholesome state of the public
mind.
The genesis and development of the prevail
ing catchword significant. "viens Pou-
poule!" occurs form of endearment in the
novels of Paul de Kock and in the comedies of
Scribe. 1t is the return to the patriarchal senti-
mentalities and fads Of 1880. The song first
made its appearance at the music halls OF the
boulevards during the reviews of last January.
On Mardi Gras and on Mi-Careme II burst forth
spontaneously in the streets as a national re-
frain. The author Of the song Is NJ. Ire
bitsch. a young sentimental poet OF Mont
martre and disciple of NJ. Gustave Charpentier
