ORIGINATOR OF CABARET SINGING
EARNS VAST SUM FOR FRENCH WAR FUND

The man VINO invented the cabaret"
Is singing on the streets of Paris to-
day for the war fund!
In seventeen months clustering
Alexandra" once the idol of Mont
martre. has raised $4,000 francs by
singing and selling his own songs.
picturesque figures in all Paris today
is this modern troubadour. who, though
age is dimming his sight and thinning
his locks, is devoting his life and his
art to raising money for the war char

in Paris would recognize lie Bruyant
Iexandre-Blustering Alexa nd e.
under the bourgeois title of Monsieur

never a tinge of ridicule to mar the
dignity or the now famous nom de
plume. clustering Alexandra is a
name to venerate. BY street singing
and singing in fashiona BILE tea rooms
he has. In seventeen months, collected
from the sale of his songs or from

900 francs or $4,000, which he ha.
turned over to different charity com.
mittees that have been organized since
the war TO relieve distress caused By
war ravages.
One might err In conjecturing the
nationality of this familiar Partisan
figure. His huge. numbering frame and
heavy features do not correspond with
the accepted French type of men, who
as a class are small boned and nnt
