"Misters very selects for is pleasure must to visit heaven and hell show"

(U15.3888)

'Heaven' and 'Hell' in Paris are 2 adjacent cabarets, 'Le Ciel' and 'L'Enfer' on the boulevard de Clichy in Montmartre (18e). The entrance was through 2 monumental sculpted doors, the one of 'L'Enfer' being a huge open mouth. Heaven featured harp music, a priestly master of ceremonies, and an angel who sprinkled the audience with holy water; the show was a series of tableaux vivants depicting the pleasures of paradise. L'Enfer, together with the Cabaret du Neant, presented a glimpse of hell and specialized in fantasmagoria and ghost shows.
