## Commentary

Chocolat was a Negro from Bilbao who performed as a clown, usually with his partner, the Englishman George Footit. They went on a European tour together and had their greatest success in Paris in 1894. After his performances at the Nouveau Cirque he often danced and sang to please himself at the Irish and American Bar.
