So, this was in the 19th century turmoil, not the mid eighteenth century "conquest" when England took Canada from France. Do you have the primary document references from the book's bibliography?

The info was indeed in the catalogue, which I keep safely in my puppetry bookshelf. Here is an instant translation: "On Rue d'Aiguillon and sometimes on the Place du Marché (marketplace) in Quebec City, the "Thé=E2tre du P=E8re Marseilles" brought laughters to French Canadians for more than fifty years. The puppeteer, assisted by M=E8re Marseilles (Mother Marseilles), was showcasing the celebrities of the time: a narcissistic Louis XV, a long and langorous Mme de Pompadour, an unglier-than-life Voltaire, a democratic Franklin, a Montcalm with "firy eyes". According to Philippe de Gaspé, during the Patriot rebellion of 1837-1838, the theatre was ransacked by the English, who then paraded with the inanimated dolls as a sign of victory."
