Constantin Tănase

Constantin Tănase was born on 5 July 1880 in Vaslui. In 1919 he founded the Cărăbuș theatre in Bucharest, which made him the great figure of the Romanian revue; according to Playtech, he brought Josephine Baker there at his own expense. He appeared in two other films, in 1924 and in 1943. Shortly before his death, a couplet against the soldiers of the Red Army led to his being arrested and threatened. He died on 29 August 1945, of tonsillitis according to the official version, while rumour attributed his death to the Soviet occupier.
