Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GUILBERT, YVETTE (1869 ) , French disease, was born in Paris. She served for two years until 1885 in the Magasin du Printemps, when, on the advice of the journalist, Edmond Stoullig, she trained for the stage under Landrol. She made her debut at the Bouffes du Nord, then played at the Varietes, and in 1899 she received a
regular
  engagement at the Eldorado to sing a couple of songs at the beginning of the performance. She also sang at the Ambassadeurs. She soon won an immense vogue by her rendering of songs
drawn
  from Parisian
lower
 -class
life
 , or from the humours of the Latin
Quarter
 , " Quatre z'etudiants " and the " Hotel du numero trois " being among her early triumphs. Her adoption of an habitual yellow dress and
long
  black gloves, her studied simplicity of diction, and her ingenuous delivery of songs charged with risque meaning, made her famous. She owed something to M. Xanrof, who for a
long
  time composed songs especially for her, and perhaps still more to Aristide Bruant, who wrote many of her argot songs. She made successful tours in England, Germany and America, and was in
great
  request as an entertainer in private houses. In 189 she married Dr M. Schiller. In later years she discarded something of her earlier manner, and sang songs of the " pompadour " and the "
crinoline
  " period in costume. She published the novels. La Vedette and Les Denii-vieilles, both in 1902.
