Louis Rodolphe Salis (1851 – 1897). Creator, host and owner of the Le Chat Noir ('The Black Cat') cabaret 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.
- "Homme carré d'épaules, roux de poil et de teint vermillonné... sa chevelure fauve s'accordait avec sa barbe cuivrée et lui donnait l'air d'un reître flamand." [With square shoulders, red hair and... (ruddy? I'm not sure about that)... his red hair went with his coppery beard and gave him the air of a Flemish trooper.] https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodolphe_Salis
- “Rodolphe Salis was a tall, red-headed bohemian with a coppery beard and boundless charisma." https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/search?page=85&q=redhead
- "It's not a coincidence that Rodolphe had red hair. His brother purposefully named his establishment the Red Donkey to poke fun of his brother." https://www.ruemarcellin.com/products/l-ane-rouge-cabaret-literaire
