Que diable! Macaire... Est-ce que tu vas tout garder..
Title (alt.):
What the devil Macaire!.... Charivari
Description:
A man is asking Robert Macaire if he is going to keep everything. The caption reads: "What the devil Macaire! You, in charge of a charity office! Are you going to keep everything for yourself? Won't you give something to your poor friend Bertrand? --Poor, you say! You, who lives on nothing, who's not in the habit of spending. What about me, who can't do without servants, horses, mistresses, luxuries of every kind?... I'm the poorest man in my neighborhood. The money raised by publicity belongs rightly to me."
