Le Chat Noir  (French  for "The Black Cat") was a 19th century entertainment establishment in the bohemian  Montmartre  district of  Paris. It was opened on 18 November 1881 at 84  Boulevard de Rochechouart  by  impresario  Rodolphe Salis, and closed in 1897 not long after Salis' death. Le Chat Noir  is thought to be the first modern  cabaret: a nightclub where the patrons sat at tables and drank alcoholic beverages while being entertained by a variety show on stage. The acts were introduced by a master of ceremonies who interacted with well-known patrons at the tables. Its imitators have included cabarets from  St. Petersburg  (Stray Dog Café) to  Barcelona  (Els Quatre Gats) to London's  Cave of the Golden Calf. In its heyday it was a bustling nightclub that was part artist  salon, part rowdy  music hall. From 1882 to 1895 the cabaret published a weekly magazine with the same name, featuring literary writings, news from the cabaret and Montmartre, poetry, and political satire.  It was the subject of an iconic  Théophile Steinlen  poster  in 1896.

A  diary  is a  written  or  audiovisual  memorabilic  record, with discrete entries arranged by  date  reporting on what has happened over the course of a day or other period. Diaries have traditionally been  handwritten  but are now also often  digital. A personal diary may include a person's experiences, thoughts, and/or feelings, excluding comments on current events outside the writer's direct experience. Someone who keeps a diary is known as a  diarist. Diaries undertaken for institutional purposes play a role in many aspects of human civilization, including government records, business  ledgers, and military  records. In British English, the word may also denote  a preprinted journal format. Today the term is generally employed for personal diaries, normally intended to remain private or to have a limited circulation amongst friends or relatives. The word "journal" may be sometimes used for "diary," but generally a diary has (or intends to have) daily entries (from the Latin word for 'day'), whereas journal-writing can be less frequent. Although a diary may provide information for a  memoir,  autobiography  or  biography, it is generally written not with the intention of being published as it stands, but for the author's own use. In recent years, however, there is internal evidence in some diaries that they are written with eventual publication in mind, with the intention of self-vindication (pre- or posthumous), or simply for profit. By extension, the term  diary  is also used to mean a printed publication of a written diary; and may also refer to other terms of journal including electronic formats (e.g.  blogs).
