Constantin Tănase ((:konstanˈtin təˈnase); July 5, 1880 – August 29, 1945) was a Romanian actor and writer for stage, a key figure in the revue style of theater in Romania. ==Life== Born into a working-class family living in a peasant house in Vaslui, Romania. An adequate but unexceptional student (although he did apparently learn good German), his first exposure to the stage was by attending plays at "Pârjoala" garden, where he saw popular theater, including actors such as Zaharia Burienescu and I.D. Ionescu. This inspired him to start an amateur theater group among his friends; they worked up scenes from the plays ''Meşterul Manole'', ''Căpitanul Valter Mărăcineanu'' and ''Constantin Brâncoveanu''; their closest thing to a stage was a barn. His first professional experience as an actor was in the Yiddish-language theater troupe of Mordechai Segalescu: they were short an actor for a performance in Vaslui and drafted the youthful Tănase. In 1896 he completed gymnasium. Despite his wish to become an actor, at his parents behest he enrolled in the Military School at Iaşi, but his rebellious behavior there quickly got him booted out. He headed to Brăila, where he briefly attended the "Nicolae Bălcescu" High School, but after a few weeks he dropped out due to lack of funds. In Brăila he met the schoolteacher and writer Ion Adam, who suggested that the 18-year-old Tănase take over his teaching post in Curseşti, Rahova, since Adam was headed to take some courses in Belgium. He didn't do badly at the job, but hit it off badly with the headmaster and some of the other teachers. With Adam's support, he got another teaching job at Hârşoveni, Poeneşti, where poet Alexandru Vlahuţă also taught. Tănase promptly developed his own style of teaching, bringing music and gymnastics to a central role, which drew new students to the school. He also involved his students' parents through field trips which he used to teach history and geography. He soon became a generally beloved local figure, but apparently the local notary and certain lawyers disapproved of him and his methods and managed to have him fired. Out of work, he headed for Bucharest on October 14, 1899, where he volunteered to join a military regiment, the 1st Engineer Regiment (''Regimentul 1 Geniu''). After his military service, he worked in theater, and in 1917, he married Virginia Niculescu. In Bucharest in 1919, he founded the theater troupe "Cărăbuş" (meaning cockchafer). Over the course of 20 years, he would establish a tradition of humorous cabaret/revue theater that still continues in Romania today, most notably at the "Constantin Tănase" Revue Theatre, the former home of "Cărăbuş" at 33-35 Calea Victoriei in the heart of Bucharest. At "Cărăbuş", Tănase launched the careers of numerous performers, notably Maria Tănase and Horia Şerbănescu. "Cărăbuş" frequently toured Romania and on at least one occasion toured Turkey. Tănase himself also performed in Paris. According to at least one source, he also founded 3 schools for children and a church.〔University of Lüneburg, (Constantin Tănase )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Constantin Tănase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
