King of Dancers Clodoche, is DeadParis—Clodoche, the last of the giants of the dance, is dead. Reaching the height of his fame in the days of the Second Empire, in his later years he kept a small restaurant on the outskirts of Paris. He was a melancholy person, and very uncommunicative. His only distraction was fishing, in which he was a great adept.Clodoche belonged to a remarkable quartette. The other members of the band were Flageolot, La Comcte and Xormanda—all, of course, assumed names. The two latter were dressed as women, the others retained their masculine attire. When they appeared for the first time at the opera ball, in the winter of 1SG5, they achieved an instant success. They were voted the most humorous thing in humanity that had yet come out. The gay assembly at the ball—just then at the height of its glory—were convulsed at the drolleries of the-four. The pseudo “dnnscuses” surpassed themselves in their unexpected and brilliant effects. They seemed to be able to do everything with their legs except to stand quietly upon them as ordinary mortals did.All Paris Flocked to Them.
